Thank you for acting for peace through the 75th Christmas Bowl.
I want to take a moment to express my heartfelt gratitude for your incredible support of the 75th Christmas Bowl. Your generosity brings hope to so many, and I am deeply grateful for the difference you are making.
For 75 years, the Christmas Bowl has been a powerful expression of Christian unity and love in action.
In a world that often feels divided, your commitment to standing with those in urgent need is a testament to the hope, peace, joy, and love that Christ calls us to share. I am proud to have been part of this milestone with you.
As we reflect on the past year, we cannot ignore the heart-breaking reality for the millions of people facing unimaginable hardships, including the more than 122 million people currently displaced by conflict and disaster. But through your kindness, you are offering more than just practical support—you are offering hope, and a chance for people to rebuild their lives with dignity and strength.
From Indonesia to Jordan, Sri Lanka to Zimbabwe, and in places like Gaza where so many are experiencing unimaginable hardship right now, churches have stood alongside thousands of Christians across Australia, making a real and lasting impact.
With your continued support, the inspirational dedication of our local partners and the resilience of people who have been displaced, together can we continue to empower people to regain the peace that comes with having a safe place to belong.
Thank you for continuing to be part of this important tradition.
