Car Wash Outreach

RCI Melbourne has commenced a Car Wash outreach that is held every second Saturday at the Box Hill hall.

The area around the hall has become a hive of activity on Saturday mornings. Within a few hundred metres of our hall we now have a large Office Works stationary store, Bunnings Warehouse and a new outlet of the Masters Home Improvements chain. The Car Wash outreach allows us to take advantage of the increased level of traffic in the area.

People are invited into our hall for a coffee and a chat while their vehicles are being washed. This provides us with a great opportunity to tell people about the Lord in a relaxed environment. Many of our visitors live in the general area, have seen our signage and are interested in what we believe as a church. The proceeds from washing cars are used to support the RCI overseas missions which again is a great conversation starter.

The outreach is supported by house meetings and the Melbourne Youngies group. It is a time of fun and fellowship. Many have found that washing cars can be fun particularly when it is for a great cause. Already this year many people have been spoken to and we have seen people baptised and filled with the Holy Spirit as a result of the Car Wash outreach.
