Have you ever become aware of the plight of others or read about innocent hearts being subjected to insane cruelty and felt completely helpless to make a difference?

It doesn't take much to make a felt difference in another individuals life.

It has been an awesome journey for the last two years watching a partnership form through our Heart for the House Offering and the Hillsong Africa Foundation.

Volunteerism along with generosity, I believe, is one of the keys to seeing exponential growth and development in the church globally.

Last weekend, thanks to the thoughtfulness of individuals and families that brought their 'Kilo of Kindness', we collected over 20,000 food items.

Through the Mitchells Plain project, the Hillsong Africa Foundation is joining hands and working together in order to pioneer a fundamental concept… community!

Just over 7 months ago we began heading into Mitchells Plain with a team of volunteers every Wednesday...

One of the social justice projects that was held, took place late February at a local woman’s home in Glebe.

We weren't sure who would come. We invited. We set the table. Waited, welcomed, and then gathered some more.

We first met Rosemary just over eight years ago when our Hillsong CityCare Street Teams first set foot in her neighbourhood.

For most people sitting in a hospital clinic waiting for treatment or test results can be a horrible experience, especially when you are there for your child.

Well, I am sitting in the Bandera slum in Mumbai in the dirt next to the Vision Rescue bus.

Those of us in leadership in church life have the responsibility to ensure that our local churches are safe places for children

What do you know about the Hillsong Africa Foundation?

Since 2002 Hillsong Church has sponsored 31,000 children through Compassion.

Just over a month ago we had the privilege of seeing the first children move into the accommodation at Tembaletu.

To conceive and then start and enjoy a family is the desire of most young married couples.

So what's the story behind the knickers??

It is easy to look at an issue like human trafficking, and become overwhelmed by the magnitude of the problem.

Our hearts have been stretched and continually broken as we watch the Earth around us respond with great power and destruction.

Please don’t think that because we gave millions of dollars to the appeals that people’s lives have now returned to normal – they haven’t!

The crumbled steeple of the Christchurch Cathedral, once a proud monument that towered above the city, lies in ruins

On behalf of the people of Queensland, I extend a heartfelt thanks to everyone at Hillsong for your compassionate support during our darkest of days.

There are scores of rebuilding projects, but a person is not a project!
