Beschreibung
February, 2009, in the midst of Australia’s worst ever bushfire disaster, Jan Graham asked the question: “What can I do to help?” She had no idea that this question would lead her and her husband, John, into three years of intense relief work, helping survivors of the Black Saturday Fires.
This is not another bushfire story, though that is the setting. This is a story about how a local church and community responded in the face of crisis, and it asks the question, are there still fires burning today? What trauma and pain in our society is right on our doorstep, and can the church and community still respond, as it did back in 2009?
“Hell on the Doorstep provides a poignant challenge ... that all of us be moved to practical and loving action; that all of us respond with a ‘yes’ to the mess.” Pastor Jon Cathie
“This story of collective support from the community in times of adversity will remind readers that: alone we can do so little, but together, we can do so much.” Pastor Zoran Paunovich
