Mission Australia's Winter Sleepout

The ASCM has a mission and vocation statement that states what our values are, what motivates us, and what we think is the essence of the work we do. It can be found at www.ascm.org.au. I wish to draw your attention to the following points of the mission and vocation statement;

We aim to explore ways to live out our faith in our community, each seeking the path of becoming an instrument of God, according to one’s calling.
ASCM is committed to social justice. We heed God’s call to justice throughout the Bible, Jesus’ commandment to love our neighbour, and Jesus’ assurance that in serving our neighbour in need we are serving Christ.
We therefore seek to discern the needs of our neighbours and the causes of need in our society.We promote the rights of those who suffer and aim to act alongside them. We believe that in acting with those in need we meet God and deepen our faith.

This year, the ASCM is getting involved in living our faith and showing our commitment to social justice, by supporting Mission Australia's Winter Sleepout and we are encouraging you to be part of our team. You can do this by organising an ASCM team to sleepout locally,or by donating on our teams online donation page at; http://www.everydayhero.com.au/australian_student_christian_movement (External link - opens in new window).

Grace and peace,
