If you
join the team, this ministry will
not be constantly demanding.
Commitment when a link is forged
will depend on various factors e.g.
if the woman has a family or friends
already in the area, what her needs
are, initially and longer term and,
not least of all, her progress,
confidence and stability in the
community itself. You will offer
regular support, encouragement to
re-shape lives and a listening ear.
We need volunteers everywhere. This
is an important Christian ministry –
God’s forgiveness changes people’s
lives in many ways.

Prayer Centres
A growing number of Prayer Centres are being
established around the UK to support the
work of The Sozo Women's Resettlement
Project. A Prayer Centre is
typically a pastoral care group or healing
ministry team within a church, or a group of
Christians meeting together regularly for
prayer in a particular place. If you would
like to set up a Prayer Centre for us in
your area please let us know. |
