Love in Action - A Photographic Documentary Book

Love in Action is a story of hope: how one ordinary neighbourhood in the corner of the world - Manly, in Sydney, Australia - formed a relationship with the people of Manado, Indonesia, to take action against poverty. From its small beginnings with only a handful of residents, this grassroots movement has captured the imagination of Manly's wider community. It now includes support of local council, local businesses, schools and churches, and over 13,000 residents.

With over 100 stunning photographs shot by photographer Stuart Harris and words by Jim Collins, Love in Action captures the inspiring story of a community taking action against poverty. Thousands of lives have now been transformed as opportunity, dignity, freedom and hope flow from the relationship between the people of Manly and Manado. Discover some of the treasures that can be unearthed through the efforts of a community partnership and learn how you too can play your part in making our world a better place.

Love in Action, the book, is available now. You can read the blog below and participate by leaving comments.

You can purchase the book online today. See the Buy Book button above. Profits raised from the sale of this book will be donated to benefit the communities that we visited in Manado.

Join the Micah Challenge

Thursday, 17 June, 2010 Posted in News

Friends are heading down to Canberra this coming weekend to be part of Micah Challenge’s big advocacy campaign – ‘Voices for Justice’. There are about 300 people attending from all over the nation. As part of the weekend, they’ll be meeting with politicians and discussing the need for Australia to address global inequalities and keep its commitment to meeting the Millennium Development Goals.

Please pray for the weekend, all the meetings that will take place with politicians (there’s over 100) and for those that they are advocating on behalf of. There is also a great petition that will be rolled out on the floor of Parliament House.

If you’d like to add your name for the list of Jesus followers who are deeply concerned about the plight of the World’s poor, you can go to http://www.micahchallenge.org.au/micah-call

Please pass on the petition to friends.
