Soul Food

Soul Food is a unique opportunity to demonstrate God’s compassion in a very practical way. In essence people in church cook food that can be frozen. It is kept in a freezer in church and can be given to individuals or families who need a bit of help perhaps as a result of coming out of hospital, having had a baby, bereavement or struggling to make ends meet and need some of the pressure lifted off them with a good quality, home cooked meal.

Our supplies are currently low and we would appreciate your help at this time in replenishing the freezer.

You can drop you food off to the church office 9am-5pm Monday to Friday. E-mail missions@thisiscfc.com for more information.

Afghanistan

It's just a year since the Taliban took control of Afghanistan.

Roughly 90% of Afghanistan's 40 million live below the poverty level. With families barely able to afford food, half of the population is threatened with starvation and at risk of malnutrition "....one thing is sure, God is moving powerfully amid all the chaos and drawing more people to the knowledge of His love. So let us continue to hope and pray with Afghan believers for the transformation of their nation."

Our partners, Ethnos Asia, sent this report and prayer request for Afghanistan - click here.
