We're rapt to have Steve McKinnon share his stories and experiences in living out justice at Surrender Perth! ⠀ ⠀ Steve McKinnon is WA Co-ordinator of TEAR Australia. He has a background in Youth Work, Pastoring, Chaplaincy and community development. He believes he is called to build a bridge between the church and the streets; adapted from Isaiah 58. This means to firstly provide a Christ-like community of transformational love for marginalised people and secondly to challenge the church to reach out to the poor and marginalised and thus be transformed also. He has tried to do this wherever he has been employed. For the last 20 years he has ran AMUC (Among the Urban Community) – a camp that invites Christians to do a local short term exposure program in Perth city. Some young person said of Steve, “You have such a big heart, it’s like you don’t have a brain”.⠀ ⠀ Register for Perth19 using our link in our bio.⠀ ⠀ #SurrenderPerth19 #JesusInTheMargins
