Volunteer With Us

Serving is a profound expression of our faith, echoing James 2:17’s wisdom: “Faith without works is dead.”

Through service, we embody love, fortify church bonds, and exemplify Christian values. Whether your passion lies in aiding the impoverished, evangelism, music, or other talents, our volunteer team welcomes you. As a volunteer, you’ll forge deeper connections, offer meaningful service, and radiate positivity. All ages, backgrounds, and experiences find a place here to contribute. Join our volunteer team and make a difference.

Jesus Cares is a volunteer interdenominational Christian Charitable organisation. Our volunteers and supporters come from a range of backgrounds across the whole body of Christ with a common heart to bring the love of God to the poor, the homeless, the needy and the vulnerable. 

Volunteers connect with Jesus Cares because they are given the opportunity to use their ministry gifts. We provide training for our volunteers and meet socially at other times. The fellowship we share is special. We have volunteers who have been with us for many years and also attract a constant stream of new ones. 

We operate in three areas: the Inner City, Western Sydney (Lalor Park area) and South Western Sydney.

VOLUNTEER STORY: Lilai & Jamain

What Inspired You to Volunteer with Us?
Lilia: Jesus, Mark 25:34-36… and the pandemic inspired me. A cry of my heart was, what would the homeless do during the pandemic? Who will help them? … I knew I needed to help. Jesus had been calling me earlier, and hearing of Jesus Cares, what they did, their commitment even through the pandemic and weather forecasts, going out even on a rainy day, really spoke volumes to me, I knew that I wanted to be a part of this ministry. I wanted to care for the homeless and assist in providing for their needs. My journey began April 4/2020 and it continues. 

Jamain: I was inspired to serve at Jesus Cares when my now wife introduced it to me, though I was young in the Faith and was a little apprehensive about it, Lilia then spoke a scripture to me from Matthew 25:34-36 NKJV “Then the King will say to those on His right hand, ‘Come, you blessed of My Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world: for I was hungry and you gave Me food; I was thirsty and you gave Me drink; I was a stranger and you took Me in; I was naked and you clothed Me; I was sick and you visited Me; I was in prison and you came to Me.’“ Then I was inspired to serve to do the Lord’s will.

What is Your favourite memory/story from Volunteering?
My favourite memory was when I first had the opportunity to lead a man to the Lord, I prayed and he repeated after me right next to the Jesus Cares van at Belmore Park, it was such a Holy Spirit lead moment and I was jumping out of my shoes afterwords. He also walked with Lilia and I to Central station making sure we got on the right train home. Glory to Jesus. 

How Can Others Make a Meaningful Impact by Joining Us?
My wife Lilia and I believe the biggest impact anyone can make joining Jesus Cares, is by furthering the gospel and bringing the kingdom of God to the people ”So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.“  Romans 10:17 NKJV. It is such an honour to serve and be involved. We give thanks to God for leading us to this wonderful ministry.  God bless you all.
