Eternity Aid
This arm of our church is a Public Benevolent Institution established to:
Provide relief from poverty, sickness, suffering, distress, misfortune, destitution or helplessness. The main area of ministry undertaken by Eternity Aid is to provide relief, nurture and instruction to detainees in a local Juvenile Justice Centre. To this end we have received a Government Grant to provide supplementary educational programs targeted to the individual needs of the boys at the Centre to develop academic and social competency.
The four main strands of this Life Skills Development program are:
-
1. Physical Personal and Health Education - Weekly touch football and sporting activities
-
2. Nutritional and Living Skills.
-
3. Homework Centre - fortnightly one on one tutoring by voluntary helpers from all walks of life including Occupational Therapists, Speech Therapists, Specialist Teachers, University Students, and Youth Workers.
-
4. Religious Studies.
We also meet with the boys fortnightly in the Detention Centre for church services. Attendance is voluntary but the boys rarely choose to miss church.
