Ready to Serve
The Ministry of Mercy for Refugees at Liverpool South Anglican Church (LSAC) aims to serve vulnerable people in the community through providing immediate supplies of groceries and toiletries, in partnership with Anglicare.
Lurnea is an economically disadvantaged suburb and care for vulnerable refugees is either limited or non-existent. This is where LSAC has stepped in to be the hands, eyes, feet and heart of our role model and Lord, Jesus Christ.

Secure Payment
LSAC has been involved in caring for refugees and asylum seekers since January 2009.
Over the years, the scope of the ministry has widened to include victims of domestic violence, people suffering from post-traumatic stress, intellectually disabled refugees, and families who have members in or just released from prison.
Lurnea is both a multicultural and economically disadvantaged suburb. According to the 2021 census, in the Liverpool South parish 43.24% of people were born outside Australia. Arabic is spoken in 19.64% of homes, and Vietnamese in 15.25% of homes.
1/5 of households earn below $500 per week (compared to 1/10 of households in NSW). Care for vulnerable refugees is either limited or non-existent. This is where LSAC has stepped in to be the hands, eyes, feet and heart of our role model and Lord, Jesus Christ.
A View for the Future
With the support of Anglicare, LSAC provides immediate support in the short-term, supplying groceries and toiletries. The ministry builds on and establishes new connections with vulnerable members of the community through ESL classes, Ladies Craft and Friendship Group and the food pantry. In the long term, there are plans to start an Easy English Bible Study and an Easy English Church Service.
Please pray for God’s wisdom and guidance as LSAC seeks to meet the physical and spiritual needs of the vulnerable and disadvantaged in their community. Pray also for more volunteers to be trained up to serve this ministry.
