Story
I have recently joined London City Mission as Director of Human Resources. After 35 years of consulting in a wide variety of public and private sector organisations I am excited about the opportunity to serve in a christian charity whose aim is work with churches across London to reach out to, love and witness the love of Jesus to the communities of people such as the homeless.
People who are homeless struggle with addictions and mental health challenges. These are often the people on the margins of society, the most vulnerable and overlooked. They’re among the people in London least reached with the gospel.
Often, the lives of people who are homeless and marginalised are chaotic and damaging. It can be daunting to know where to even start with gospel ministry. But at LCM we follow Jesus’ example, to engage personally and compassionately with people who can so often be overlooked. With our experience in this kind of ministry, we can help churches develop or grow ministry with people who are homeless and marginalised, and together take every opportunity to share the life-changing good news of Jesus.
“For I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me drink, I was a stranger and you welcomed me” (Matthew 25:35).
So on 21 November my daughter Jessica and I will be sleeping out to raise funds to support this great work.
A donation of just £20 allows us to safely provide a hot meal, friendship and chance to hear the gospel.
Thank you
