We love to hear what the Lord is doing through our Social Transformation projects. Here are some recent testimonies:
“Today I went to Tesco for hamper items. While trying to decide on a towel choice I got into conversation with a lady. Seeing the contents of my trolley she was curious. I shared about the Love your neighbour project. She insisted on giving me a cash donation”.
- LYN Feedback from the Besom Day
Feedback from a isolated single parent struggling with mental and physical health needs, financial struggles, child with SEN and health needs. Mum's thoughts shared at completion review:
“I have really enjoyed the company of my Family Friend, having time to talk, support with appointments, and go out for coffee. He has encouraged me to find things I enjoy doing, and has reminded me and helped me to do things at home. I have seen an improvement in my health and well being since we have been meeting”.
- Recent feedback from a Safe Families Mum
“I was overwhelmed by the kindness and compassion shown by your volunteers to my daughter Laura and her two children when we visited today. The food she was given will help her and her family so much and I'm eternally grateful. After chatting with volunteers on Saturday, a client came to the 11am service and stayed for the bring and share lunch afterwards. A member of the congregation spoke with them, having been prepared by God with info about him in advance”.
- Recent feedback from a Foodbank client
“A client with 5 children was really struggling with bills and debt. While on a recent visit she showed me her phone screen which was shattered. She was still using it but it was difficult. This was a Thursday, the following Monday I walked into the Foodbank to run the weekly drop in and the volunteer handed me a phone that her daughter no longer needed. I called the client straight away and she came down and picked up the phone, she said the God must be looking after her!”
- Recent feedback from our CAP Client
“I was far too busy and burnt out with my commitments and family life. My counsellor gave me the opportunity to devote time to myself and to work out what my priorities are”.
“I have learnt that I don't need to rely on other people to tell me who I am. that i can change and grow and that that is good and it is good to be me”.
“Sessions have helped me process my need for help and vulnerability and helped me move on from experiences that damaged my trust”.
- Recent feedback from Counselling Service Clients
“Just to say what a blessing Skill Share has been to me. I enjoyed growing the House Tomato Plants early in the year and then seeing folk pot them at the session. What a joy one Sunday morning when Mandy and Emrys separately told me they had their first red tomatoes!! I also enjoyed learning to crochet. Clare Treherne was so kind and patient with me !! And also Ben's art sessions, learning a new technique.”
