- Christianity
In this episode of Affinity Talks Gospel, we are joined by Erin and Jonathan from Caring For Life, a charity which seeks to share the love of Jesus with at-risk and hurting people. We discuss Caring For Life’s mission to support marginalised individuals through housing, activities, and the gospel. This relationship building and practical support is built on an evangelical Christian foundation.
Graham Nicholls hosts this episode of Affinity Talks Gospel with guests Jonathan and Erin from Caring For Life (CFL). Erin works as the Benefits and Tenancies Team Manager at CFL, supporting people through benefit processes. Jonathan, CEO of CFL, is responsible for fulfilling the organisation's objectives in engaging with marginalised individuals and sharing the gospel.
Caring For Life aims to lead people to Jesus, provide meaningful activities, and offer stable housing to those at risk or vulnerable. They support individuals dealing with homelessness, mental health issues, addictions, and other challenges. The organisation also runs a working farm which provides therapeutic projects and engages individuals to find purpose and direction. Caring For Life also assists people in accessing benefits and supports them in finding employment opportunities where feasible.
Relationship building, meeting individuals where they are, and providing practical support like safe housing are vital to the charity’s goal of sharing the gospel with the marginalised. This is made explicit through the organisation’s strong Christian foundation. They engage in prayer, Bible studies, and spiritual conversations with beneficiaries. They also highlight the need for churches to be more proactive in ministering to individuals in need, including those with complex backgrounds and challenges.
We also touch on the difficulties of integrating individuals with diverse needs into church communities and the importance of seeing them through Christ's eyes. Caring For Life value prayers for effectiveness in their ministry, impactful witness, and continued provision to expand their work and bless more people in need.
