Robin and Dorothy have been to Indonesia where they braved motorbikes, mangroves and mud to see the life-changing impact of the love that people like you bring to life through ALWS.
Packed into the 90-minute ALWS Asante will be stories and songs from Robin and Dorothy. An inspiring journey to a community where people with disability are no longer forgotten but celebrated like Marleni who shared, “I have been blind in this eye since I was 12 years old. I got a sickness [like chickenpox] and some went in my eye. My family were too poor to get any medicine and so I lost the sight.
I have not been able to work – just stay with the family and they care for me, but I was rejected by my community.
I joined the Persons With Disability Group [facilitated by our partner in Indonesia and supported through ALWS] in 2022. I put in a little bit of money each month. After many months I could take a loan for several hundred dollars to start this kiosk. It put items in the shop and helped to build this small room at the front of the house. I can now get a profit each week from the fuel and the food.
I feel very happy, and it creates my spirit to feel more appreciated by the community when I have this shop. Thank you!”
And then an update on your ALWS action on the frontline conflict zones of Ukraine, Myanmar, South Sudan and Somalia from our ED [Executive Director] Michael Stolz, Jonathan Krause and Peter Egesa [ALWS Humanitarian Coordinator]
There will also be an opportunity for you to ask questions at the end as you finish enjoying the hospitality of your wonderful St Petri community.
A great opportunity to chat with old friends and new ones as you reflect on how you have seen and heard about faith at work, being lived out in practical ways in people’s lives!
We look forward to sharing this special time with you.

One reflection on Barossa Hymnfest
Last Sunday afternoon over 200 people filled the Barossa Regional Gallery. As we filled up the auditorium floor, we faced the commanding Valley Voices choir, the Hill and Son Organ, guest organist Steven Kaesler, and compere Richard Ansoul.
These deeply confessional and rousing hymns have flowed to us post-Reformation. Songwriters and musicians, inspired by Holy Spirit, have gifted these hymns and spiritual songs to the community of saints and fellowship of all believers. They have stood the test of time. These hymns have come from all parts of the world and from all Christian traditions.
To attend this event, people came from all parts of the Barossa and from all denominations. Even some tourists from Adelaide visiting the historical displays in the Gallery joined in unexpectedly.
The great spiritual truths of Creation, God’s Grace, New Life in Christ were declared with vigor in the Barossa marketplace beyond the walls of any one church building.
One lady summed up her experience as “This was so uplifting”. Gracious Heavenly Father, bless this gift of $2,258 given for Ukraine Relief, in Jesus Name.
The more I think about it, what happened during those two hours in the Barossa Regional Gallery was quite remarkable.
