" Over the years I seen all walks of Australian life respond to presentations of grace: From wealthy business people, CEO's of multinational corporations and famous actresses to  drug addicts, prostitutes, alcoholics and men between jail sentences. This is the gift we hold in our hands.... and in the coming years my heart is to give it away every way possible"

In a Toowoomba boardroom with Isaac Moody (then CEO of Easterfest), Aliki spent a day in ministry 'stock take'. Through discussion they defined the heart of ministry: "Restoration through grace".   It made sense of everything that had taken place: touring remote areas, supporting pastors and passionately delivering the good news to every Australian. Even Aliki's passion to find and photograph old trucks, was a constant reminder of God's redeeming love for what's broken down.

Vision  Stop Fistula Campaign

CBM is one of Australia's best kept secrets, an organisation setting the poor free from the bondages of physical disability. One campagin in particular has grabbed ALIKI's heart - "Stop Fistula".  A fistula is caused by prolonged labour in childbirth, when the baby’s head puts too much pressure on the mother’s maternal tissues, cutting the supply of blood. The tissue dies and leaves a hole, or fistula, which causes urine and faeces to leak uncontrollably. Women with fistula, become social outcasts, unable to work, isolated, humilitated and many are abandoned by their husbands. CBM provides FREE corrective surgery for fistula, restoring women's diginitiy, hope and life.  

ALIKI fully endorses the work of CBM with paticular interest in the healing of African women who lost everything at the point of trying to have a baby. Many of her presentations will reflect this endorsement.

Vision for Grace Unearthed

As Aliki travels,  she meets ordinary Australians with extraordinary stories of God's power at work. These stories and other images of grace will be told through www.graceunearthed.com.   It's purpose, to showcase the touch of God's hand upon the earth... and bring hope to all who read. "Grace Unearthed" may also be syndicated as a nationally broadcast radio 'God spot'.

Vision for the Broken

Over the years ALIKI has shared in several places where men and women are finding their way out of life controlling addictions. One of her regular favourites has been "Sherwood Cliffs" in the back blocks of Coffs Harbour. In 2009 ALIKI shared at a similar centre for the Salvation Army in Wellington NZ. After her presentation a man recovering from drug addiction said "They tell us to believe in some kind of higher power to help get through this. I don't know what to believe. But tonight, you put a face on God".  This was a profoundly beautiful statement, that led to a new heart of commitment:-  In future seasons of ministry, recovery centres and programs will be specifically sort to present the good news of God's restoring love through Jesus Christ. 

Vision for the Worldly

A few years ago at a breakfast meeting in Tasmania, Aliki shared story and song to a combined group of business people, CEO's, politicians and government administrators. By the end of her song "Touch of the Master's Hand" and a comment pertaining to their inherent value as people... grown men and 'big wigs' were wiping tears from their eyes. It affirmed more strongly than ever, that every single Australian desperately needs a message of hope. In future seasons of ministry, speaking opportunities in the 'mainstream' will be prayed over and sort after.

Vision for Women

In recent years ALIKI has prayed for and held more weeping women than ever before. Messages of pure love, heavenly affection and second chances resonate powerfully with women who know Jesus and women who don't. At a recent Valentine’s Day event a gathering of women including many prostitutes was fragrant with the acceptance of Jesus. Prayer and hope flowed in that place as ALIKI shared the story of the woman at the well. The next day a 'working girl' provided feedback to the pastor:

"That was the first time I’ve ever appreciated anything from the bible, please invite me to everything you put on".

In future seasons of ministry, marginalised women including indigenous women will be sort after to bring gentle, restoring messages of hope.
