A FULL HEART AND A FRESH SEASON

My heart is just so full looking back on this past week. It was packed with noise, fun and that beautiful kind of chaos that only happens when families get the space to just be together.
More than the busyness what I’m carrying into this next term is the reminder of what community is all about.

This week we had a mum and her three kids join our program. Watching them connect, laugh, and grow closer in real-time was incredibly special it’s those exact moments that make everything we do worth it.
Now we’re taking a collective breath to pause and rest before the new term and a whole new season kicks off.

Sending a massive thank you to every single person who made this past week what it was. I'm so incredibly grateful for you all and I can't wait to see how we keep growing together in the weeks ahead.

CENTERPOINT MADDINGTON

Today our Sunday event for Shalom House was to attend centerpoint maddington church service. The men of shalom enjoyed worshiping with the congregation.

A teaching on the fruits of the spirit, particularly kindness and generosity left the fellas reflecting. Realising that kindness can lead to someone else’s repentance had the fellas thinking. A group photo after the service with our energetic Pastor was requested by the congregation and the men readily obliged.

Fellowship after the service was made even more enjoyable by the light snacks and coffee provided. We are so thankful to return to centerpoint maddington church. We love attending and worshiping Jesus together, we hope to do it again soon! Much love from all of Shalom House! 🙏

SHARING SUNDAY TOGETHER

This morning the Ladies attended a very warm and welcoming Sunday morning service and fellowship at Craigie Baptist Church.

Two Ladies in the program shared their inspiring testimonies and we were able to share an update on the progress of our awesome new Dog Grooming Department along with other opportunities and skills we are able to learn, develop and grow in while in the Women’s program at Shalom House.

We enjoyed a lovely morning tea and fellowship after the service with the warm and inviting family at Craigie Baptist Church. We look forward to attending again in the future.

BELLS RAPIDS

The fellas finished up the morning clean, laced up their hiking boots, and headed straight out to tackle the beautiful trails through the hills of Bells Rapids.

Walking past the rushing water, local wildlife, and fresh wildflowers was the absolute perfect way to clear the mind, catch up, and enjoy some awesome fellowship together.

After wrapping up the hike through the hills, the lads grabbed a spot right by the water's edge. That's where 3 stage 5 residents stood up and shared a seriously powerful testimony, opening up about their personal growth and how much Shalom has helped restore there life.

Moments like this highlight exactly how Shalom helps us change our lives for the better. Seeing the strong unity and connection between the guys when we get out into nature together is always an incredible experience.

GIDGESTOCK & SHALOM HOUSE COMMUNITY COMING TOGETHER TO CHANGE LIVES

What an incredible partnership this continues to be!

For the past few years, Shalom House has been proud to partner with Gidgestock Music Festival, with our team volunteering their time and hands-on help to get the festival set up and ready to go. And we’re not finished yet! Our team will be back in the coming weeks to help with the pack-down.

Today, Des and Krystal had the privilege of attending the festival, sharing a speech and expressing their heartfelt thanks for the incredible support Gidgestock continues to show Shalom House.

As one of Gidgestock’s beneficiaries, Shalom House receives a generous donation from the funds raised over the weekend, helping support the life-changing work happening within our programs.

This partnership is about so much more than setting up and packing down an event. It’s about community, generosity and people coming together to make a real difference in the lives of others.

A HUGE THANK YOU TO STEVE AND JO!

Thank you for your generosity, your ongoing support and for continuing to partner with Shalom House year after year. We are incredibly grateful for all you do and absolutely love partnering with you both!

Thank you to everyone who makes Gidgestock possible and to everyone who supports the festival. Your contribution reaches far beyond the music, helping change lives and create hope for the future.

Here’s to many more years of working together and making a difference in our community!

THANK YOU, GIDGESTOCK!

LADIES PROPERTY LIFT UP

This morning we all got stuck into a big clean up of our properties and of course we had sure to make it fun. Cleaning definitely doesn’t need to be a chore. It’s all about the attitude you have.

We enjoyed getting amongst it together, getting our houses up to scratch inside and out. From cleaning out the cupboards to mowing the lawn - we all put in the effort and got the job done.

Once we wrapped up the clean, we settled in for an afternoon of lazing around, watching movies or just enjoying each others company.

SHALOM HOUSE — HELPING PEOPLE REBUILD THEIR LIVES

Yesterday I joined Carl Liebold on Voice of Freedom to share my story and talk about the work we do at Shalom House.

For the past 16 years, I’ve worked with people whose lives and families have been torn apart by addiction. Behind every person who comes through our doors is a family who wants their loved one back.

Our work goes beyond getting someone off drugs or alcohol. It’s about taking responsibility, restoring relationships, building confidence and learning to live, work and contribute again.

Shalom House is 100% self-funded, with no government grants. Residents who reach Stage 4 and go on to graduate are debt free, receive a car and leave Centrelink benefits for full-time employment. Those are practical steps towards an independent life.

Thank you, Carl, for the opportunity to share the heart behind this work.

A TRAINING GROUND

I’ve been at Shalom for nearly 3 years now, and when I look back, I can honestly say it has been an amazing journey full of plenty of ups and downs.

I’ve had the chance to work in different departments and learn so much from each one but the Linen Shed holds a special place in my heart.

The Linen Shed is so much more than just a place where we come to work. It’s a place where we grow, heal, learn and encourage each other.

We’ve all come here carrying our own trauma, stories and experiences but we also come with hope and a willingness to keep moving forward and the determination it takes to change and brake bad habits.

The things we learn here go far beyond the work itself. We learn patience, confidence, responsibility and how to believe in ourselves again. It really is a training ground for life.

‘CLINTON GRADUATES!’

Clinton has been part of the Shalom House program for the past two years, and during this time he has experienced significant personal growth and transformation.

When he first arrived, Clinton was a broken man, struggling with damaged relationships and a lack of trust with those around him.

Through his time in the program, he has grown stronger, developed greater integrity, and learned the importance of being honest, open, and transparent in his relationships.

For the past 15 months, Clinton has also been working with Commercial Care, where he has developed a strong work ethic and demonstrated commitment and responsibility.

His progress has seen him move into full-time employment, where he now serves as one of the company’s team leaders.

This is a significant achievement and reflects the hard work, perseverance, and positive changes Clinton has made throughout his journey at Shalom House

We at Shalom House congratulate Clinton on his success on continued focus and growth on himself. We wish him all the best on his journey and know he will inspire those around him with his testimony.

LIFE ON THE “BLOCK”

At the Shalom House Men's Program on the block, new residents are welcomed into a structured workspace where they learn new skills and are shown the Shalom culture. From day one, new men are taught the importance of routine, honesty, looking after themselves and looking after each other.

A part of this learning has been the building of new enclosures for the dogs. This project gives new residents hands-on experience in construction. It also teaches patience, teamwork and care. Working together on this reinforces the Shalom values of doing a job properly, taking pride in your work, and showing responsibility.

Residents are also working on the playground at the new church at Lexia. This is an ongoing project that involves work to create a safe and welcoming space for children and families. It is a clear example of Shalom culture in action — learning new skills, serving others, and building a better future.
