Caring for Life is a charity I have had an interest in for many years. Last night I went to the first meeting of a local supporters group. We had a lovely time of fellowship and prayer. We watched a DVD with information about the charity and testimonies from the people in their care. It is so moving and humbling to hear people with great needs testifying to the goodness of God and passionate about living for Him.
For anyone that doesn't know, CfL is a charity based on a farm in Leeds who run projects for supporting people with needs, including agriculture, arts, horticulture, music etc. etc. They also have two homes where they offer care to those with mental and emotional needs. The unique aspect of this charity is that they offer 'Care for Life' differentiating them from many other charities. The project aims to share the love of Jesus with all who come into contact with them and they have seen many conversions and had wonderful opportunities with high profile figures. Due to their strong Christian principles there is often difficulty obtaining funding so they rely heavily on supporters. They are looking for more supporters to give just £1 per week to help them continue and expand their work. If you are interested see: www.caringforlife.co.uk.
