Voices for Justice 2011

Sadly I was unable to attend Voices for Justice 2011 in Canberra. We had an unexpected early arrival – the birth of my second son, Luke!!

In the meantime, the world continues to spin, and global events don’t stop even if in our little world they might appear to. Voices for Justice was a great success. With people from all over Australia congregating together to remind our leaders of their commitment to see an end to world poverty.

Following the event, I was sent the video and photography materials and i got to work in putting together a short overview video. that gives a sense of the activities across the 4 days. You can watch the video here. Enjoy.

Micah Challenge – Voices for Justice

I’m heading to Canberra this coming weekend to join 250+ other Christians to speak up on behalf of the worlds poorest with Micah Challenge’s Voices for Justice. It’s going to be an exciting few days, and I hope to provide a link to the blogs that will be posted during this time. I will be producing video and photographic content during the 4 days on behalf of Micah Challenge.

On Sunday I was interviewed by Jenny Baxter at our local Hobart Christian radio station, Ultra 106.5. Jenny asked me about my interest and involvement in the event. You can listen to the interview here:

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
