GO WITHOUT MONTH: AUGUST

GO WITHOUT that bought lunch or cafe latte or hair streak- and give the money you save to children in extreme poverty through Compassion.

Did you know that around the world today 20 MILLION children are severely malnourished and about 3 million infants die within a month of their birth due to a lack of essential neonatal care – something that is freely available to Australians. As christians we need to do something, so this term we are going to raise money to help children helped by Christian organisation  Compassion. This group specifically focus on releasing children from poverty.We are looking to engage everyone involved at RHAC in this endeavour by an initiative called “GO WITHOUT MONTH”

Each family/person in our church will have the opportunity to take home a large envelope to collect their money. The idea is that we all reflect on the things we can go without, in order to give to someone who is really in need. For example, instead of spending $4 on a takeaway coffee, go without (or make one at home) and put the money you would have spent in the Compassion envelope.

There will be lots of ideas on the envelope to help you think about the things you can go without! We hope that families will use this opportunity to talk to their children about what life is like for MOST people in the world and encourage them to think about Jesus’ compassion for the poor.

You will find extra resources on the compassion website: www.compassion.com.au
