They are our neighbours, friends, and faith community members. Some, like Ali were children when they arrived, and Australia is the only home they know.
Some, like Mina from Iran, are in a constant battle against exhaustion and despair.
As Australian Churches, we believe the Gospel calls us to welcome the stranger. That’s why churches across the country are standing up to say: It’s time to #EndTheWaiting.
Starting 1 August 2025, a nationwide witness led by churches and people of faith will see 100 vigils in 100 electorates over 100 days. You are invited to host or join a vigil.
