ACC Hospice Activities
According to the words of Jesus that " Freely you have received, freely give," all the ministers in Australian Association of Cancer Care Incorporated (ACC) as volunteers serve cancer patients and take care for their families.
These twelve Jesus sent out with the following instructions: "Do not go among the Gentiles or enter any town of the Samaritans. Go rather to the lost sheep of Israel. As you go, preach this message: 'The kingdom of heaven is near.' Heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse those who have leprosy, drive out demons. Freely you have received, freely give. Mathew 10:5-8 (NIV)
