Give to someone in need
Acts 435 is about giving to people directly, to help them bridge the gap when they are facing a financial crisis.
Can you help a specific person in need?

D is a valued member of our local community who receives Universal Credit and works part-time, running the Golden Ages group and roller-skating lessons for adults and children at Lodge Road Community Church. Unfortunately, he is currently in great hardship, escalated due to his car becoming completely unroadworthy and, as a result, he has got behind with his Council Tax payments. This has become a great financial strain for D, so donations towards this debt would really help relieve this pressure.
Still £200 left to donate
Total needed £200This young woman has recently been reunited with her baby and they are now beginning a new life. L has been allocated a property through Birmingham City Council, but has absolutely no furnishings at present. The property only has concrete floors which is not safe for her baby to be able to crawl and walk around on. We would love to provide carpets for this small apartment, giving L and her baby a new start. Mum does not work, so struggles financially at present, especially to heat the home without carpets.
