Dear Friend,
You are invited by one of Australia’s most senior Aboriginal Christian Leaders, Aunty Jean Phillips, to gather together to pray in unison on the evening before January 26. During a moment of national significance, answer the call to prayer to #ChangeTheHeart of this nation.
While there are mixed feelings across the country around January 26, we as Christians have an opportunity to stand with Aunty Jean Phillips to acknowledge the true history of our nation, to lament the present day disadvantages and injustices facing our Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander brothers and sisters, and to pray for a nation built on truth, justice, love and hope.
This year marks the 10th Anniversary of #ChangeTheHeart and a time to celebrate how this prayer service has grown to become an important moment for our nation in the lead up to January 26.
Commit now to hear the call and let Aunty Jean Phillips know you will be watching #ChangeTheHeart on Tuesday, 25 January 2022 at 7:30 pm AEDT by clicking on the image above
