Cornerstone in Dandenong

Don Cameron from Cornerstone Contact Centre, shared with TM a story of how God is at work through networking and uniting people in different groups around Dandenong to reach out to the community. Here goes:

"Working at Cornerstone in Dandenong feeding, clothing, befriending and sharing the gospel with street people has it's own unique form of networking. A Christian group in Doveton rents out homes so they can take in homeless people to share Christ with them. We send people to their homes and put some food in their fridges and lend them our building whenever they need it. The Godsquad asks us to mentor kids they know and they deliver free 'Values For Life' seminars to Church groups we know. We pray with local Church people doing similar stuff to us and give whatever we have to our Christian family in the area (trailers, bedding, mowers etc). Secular agencies are amazed at the seemingly 'underground' network of Christian activity that runs on next to no money but achieves more than government can as we have the Saviour they need (apart from Him we can do nothing)."

Thanks Don for sharing what you are doing in partnership with other Christian groups in reaching out to homeless people and kids in the neighbourhood. Yes we do have the Saviour people need, and this Saviour transforms lives!
