In times of need - Rural Chaplains

Today, Envoys Lloyd and Vicki Graham are The Salvation Army’s rural chaplains based in Bourke. For the past seven years they have supported countless property owners. With so many years of drought and now having it come back again, a lot of people’s resources have just been stretched beyond coping, says Lloyd. So we come alongside them, helping them with practical assistance around the house or the farm, and just ease their emotional burdens by listening and caring. We also distribute drought assistance where we can.
