Embrace Sanctuary Australia

Creating a community of welcome and connection for those displaced from their homelands.

Vision…

Embrace Sanctuary Australia working for a diverse and inclusive future embracing all those seeking refuge.

Mission…

We exist to empower, educate and equip individuals, churches and community groups to work together with those seeking refuge to create communities of welcome, connection and belonging in Australia.

More community. More hospitality. More generosity. We are all made for more. Life is too short not to live lives of generous welcome and abundant community.
— Naomi Chua, Founder and CEO of Embrace Sanctuary Australia

The global refugee crisis is of never before seen scale and it requires coordinated community efforts from individuals, churches, community groups and organisations alike to find creative solutions. We are creating communities of welcome, that are empowered, educated and equipped to help settle those displaced from their homelands into a new home.

Reflecting on the inaugural Sanctuary Family Retreat…

It has profoundly affected me. I think it will take some time for me to process the impact. I do believe that the veil between heaven and earth was very thin on this retreat. I have been on a zillion Christian camps but nothing as profound and exciting as this one. It is a privilege to have been part of it.
— Rev. Peter Carolane, Team volunteer
