Hi Chris. Probably best to speak to Baptist World Aid Australia directly about this. The projects they spoke about were just a few of many they are involved in. Their contact details are on their website https://baptistworldaid.org.au/

Thanks Peter. In the end the hours rushed away. It was actually a helpful gift of time to catch up on a number of admin things.

You’re so right! The temptation is always to get cranky in such a situation, but what good would that do? I think of the many times during the height of the COVID pandemic that plans were thwarted, meetings cancelled, and family gatherings needing to be postponed. And yet those extra hours that became available actually helped me to catch up on things that I’d been putting off, like home maintenance and writing a new sermon or two.

Thanks for the reminder to do as the Apostle Paul encouraged us to “Give thanks in every circumstance, because this is the will of God for you”. ( Not that the circumstance is necessarily God’s will but the being thankful in that circumstance is God’s will for me).

Some of my thwarted plans have so often turned out a better outcome. Thanks gain for reminding me of this.
