The Greater Sydney Conference (GSC) youth department recently held a community outreach in Bathurst and Kelso, in western New South Wales, to inspire and train more people in running STORMCo projects.
With more than 30 participants from Sydney and the local team led by Pastor Sharee Greenfield, they ran morning children’s clubs and organised afternoon games. Additionally, the volunteers engaged in cleaning community backyards, painting the community centre and getting to know the local youth from Bathurst Adventist church.
A local elder, who brought young people every day to the activities, remarked that this was the best thing to happen to their community in the past year.
“We thank God for the opportunity to make a small but tangible difference,” said Conference youth director Pastor Dejan Stojkovic.
“One crucial step in faith development, particularly for our youth, is stepping outside our comfort zones to serve the community. As part of the Greater Sydney Conference’s strategic plan, we aim to enhance community engagement. This effort not only benefits the communities we serve but also creates a profound impact on everyone involved.”
