“Defend
the cause of the weak and the
fatherless, uphold
the rights of the poor an oppressed.”
Psalm
82:3
WE
LOVE THE PEOPLE OF BURY! This
huge vision was birthed out
of a desire to care for people
and to meet people’s needs in
a practical way.
Darren
our Lead Pastor, about three
years ago had an encounter with
a young man committing suicide
on the pavement of a local street
in Bury. With no mobile phone
he tried to get help by banging
on near by doors, with no response
he cried out to God to help!!
Moments later a police car drove
past, Darren was able to flag
the car down and ultimately
save the young man’s life!
In
refection of this experience
God spoke to Darren and said,
“The people of Bury are dying
and nobody cares.” It was at
this point we knew we had to
do something, anything to help
people, to meet needs and to
show Gods’ love. There are many
needs behind closed doors in
this great town of ours, are
aim is to rescue, recover and
restore one life at a time…we
have a long way to go and many
ministries to yet start, but
the journey has begun and we’re
on our way!
