Testimonies from the Morning:
"Today at Be the Change Day, we launched the Sisterhood Knitters. Some women had already completed beautiful rugs, scarves and hats; others with needles poised, were ready to start. It was truly heartwarming to see how everyone was encouraging each other and I quickly found women who are willing to teach and help in any way. What a happy day and a wonderful start to an ongoing creative endeavour." Beverley
"A team of three ladies had the privilege of extending a helping hand to a busy family with one child and the mother expecting. The family had just moved into their new home; good times were shared and stories told as we, together, were able to help set up the kids room with toys and books, as well as clean the bathrooms, kitchen and floors." Kerryn "Our Be The Change morning at the nursing home today was incredible. We massaged hands & shoulders and trimmed, filed & painted nails. It was such a great morning; we had lots of opportunity to sit and listen to their incredible life stories and even pray with some people. The nurses and director were thrilled about us coming and are very keen to have us Hillsong girls back anytime we want." Tina
