Linc Hornsby

About Us

LinC Hornsby is comprised of volunteers from local Christian churches, and has been in
operation for 31 years. In fact, we were the first LinC Affiliate to operate in Australia when
World Vision first borrowed the idea from the USA.

“LinC” stands for ‘Love in the Name of Christ’ and our trained volunteers show that in
practical ways to people in our community who are in need of help of some kind. LinC
provides practical ways for individual Christians to be use their skills, gifts, and resources to
show love, in action, in their community.

In order for the LinC ministry to be effective at the local level, good relationships must be
established and maintained in a mutually beneficial, three-way relationship between local
agencies, the LinC Referral Office and the participating churches. Cooperation, not
duplication, is the aim.
