Tina Waldrom speaks with Jay Shelling from Street Peace. Jay is bringing peace to the streets. He is taking the gospel, in a holistic way to the vulnerable young people in his community. Jay grew up in ‘privilege’, his words. His fortunate upbringing gives him the motivation needed to reach those less fortunate. His belief is that every young Aussie should have the right to a family and to be loved.
Jay and his team are reaching out to young people on the streets of Frankston in Victoria. There is a very clear pathway that this organisation has in place. Connections are made with those that are vulnerable in the community and a pathway to wholeness is mapped out. A pathway to discipleship is in place.
The lessons that Jay has learnt are valuable for all Christian believers. Jay shares his journey of hearing from the Lord to be involved, and the unfolding story. Reaching out and seeing transformation in a local community is possible when people take a holistic approach to faith.
