SUPPORTING THE MINISTRY

While this ministry supports those in the services we appreciate the support we receive to keep the ministry going.  You might like to support us in the following ways 
ATTEND
The next level of support for 000 Ministries is to attend our monthly meetings. These meetings allow for discussion and a talk from the bible on topics relevant and in a style applicable to those coming. When you come, you will find an opportunity to talk, eat, network and learn. We hope each meeting will be refreshing and encouraging as we think how to live out our faith in our work. People in the emergency services, medical services, their friends and family are all welcome.

 
SERVE
Each month (and in the times in between) there are opportunities to serve each other. You might be interested in helping form the mentoring network, or even something as simple as cooking a bbq, or setting and packing up chairs. Please contact us if you would like to be more fully involved.

 
PRAY
One of the fundamental things that this new ministry needs is PRAYER. Even if you read no further than this, please pray for us as a group, that we will honour God, and build each other up. Some more specific prayer points include:

 
  • give thanks for the support of many people in bringing 000 Ministries to the point of start up
  • pray for the solid core group of people that has been formed to grow 000 Ministries
  • pray for those who serve our community in the emergency services. Pray daily for their safety and ongoing integrity.
  • give thanks for emergency service workers. Thank God he has placed such diligent men and women in our service.
 
GIVE
The ministry costs money to run. Time and resources are being put into the ministry because we truly believe it can and will benefit many people. Perhaps you could support us too. You could make a one-off donation or donate on a regular basis. We are thinkging of this regular support as being like a "shout" at your local pub. A shout can cost between $15-20. Would you consider "shouting" 000 Ministries each week or month? You can do this several ways.

 
You can make internet transfers to support this ministry. Please mark the donations as
"000 ministries"
  • BSB 704-998
  • Account Number 100008066
  • Account Name St Matthew's Ashbury
 
You could also write a cheque to St Matthew's Anglican Church, Ashbury" (000 Ministries is currently being financially operated and supported through St Matthew's Anglican Church in Ashbury which has audited accounts available should you wish to see them)

 
Or you could give a cash donation at any of our meetings. The "plate" won't be sent around to guilt you into it, but a box will sit in the corner up the back for you, should you wish to support us.
