Guest Speaker: Street Chaplain Pastor Jamie McKnee. Jamie originally from Glasgow, Scotland Introduced by Rtn Lorraine Lucas.

Many are young from 12 upwards to middle aged, to pensioners, mainly from disjointed families who have either left home or been kicked out and are on the street.

Rockingham and Kwinana councils have both recently done surveys on the homeless in their respective districts, results are becoming available right now. We try to give kids hope and encouragement.

7 Guest Speaker: Street Chaplain Pastor Jamie McKnee. Jamie originally from Glasgow, Scotland Introduced by Rtn Lorraine Lucas. It is disturbing that there are so many homeless people in the Rockingham/Kwinana area, they sleep out in parks, in the sand dunes on the beach front. Many are young from 12 upwards to middle aged, to pensioners, mainly from disjointed families who have either left home or been kicked out and are on the street. Tuesday night s the volunteers cook food and take it to the people, they provide support, comfort and befriend them in order to gain their confidence and respect. Rockingham and Kwinana councils have both recently done surveys on the homeless in their respective districts, results are becoming available right now. We try to give kids hope and encouragement. The Street Chaplains are highly visible as they walk around the areas where these homeless people congregate. We work with School Chaplains to identify kids at risk. We need to put pressure onto government to recognise the need and provide the necessary funding so very much needed. Street Chaplains are dynamic team-oriented volunteers from a wide range of Christian churches, who are living out the call to love your neighbour as yourself (Matt 22:39) and be a good Samaritan. Street Chaplains work in the WA night club scene and have a proven record in providing crisis pastoral care in a mission setting. The Chaplains offer compassion, practical help and pastoral care to all who need and want it. Street Chaplains work in teams of at least two into the early hours of the morning (4am!) over Friday and Saturday nights. The Vision of the Street Chaplaincy Program is to provide a safe environment for patrons to enjoy a night out and not be harmed. The aim is to be Good Samaritans to those in need and not to preach at people, but simply to care, protect, and ensure patrons get home safely. The simple agenda is to love and care. Street Chaplains respect the range of cultural traditions, affiliations and religious views in the community and are approachable by people of all beliefs.
