As the name implies, the mission of CarePac is to offer care
in spiritual and physical ways – in word and deed – so
that those who lack may personally experience good news.
CarePac is involved in humanitarian relief, mission development and
pastoral support throughout the region of southern Asia and the south
Pacific islands.
Carepac’s mission: To continue the work of Jesus Christ who
said, "The Spirit of the Lord is on me, because he has anointed me to
preach good news to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim freedom for the
prisoners and recovery of sight for the blind, to release the oppressed,
to proclaim the year of the Lord's favour. Today this scripture is
fulfilled in your hearing."
|
|
To this end CarePac strives to provide financial, material,
educational and spiritual assistance to underprivileged, disadvantaged
and under-developed peoples primarily in (but not limited to) Asia and
the Pacific. The means include the channelling and distribution of
freewill donations from caring supporters, raising funds, distributing
donated and purchased materials, and coordinating interaction between
professionally skilled individuals and local needs.
|

|
CarePac’s priorities: As the apostle Paul stated,
“Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all people,
especially to those who belong to the family of believers.”
CarePac’s goal: To be a light and set an example so that
we fulfil Jesus’ words, “By this all men will know that you
are my disciples, if you love one another."
