In Galatians 2 verse 6 Paul encourages us to “carry each other’s burdens”. It is through the work of CARE ministries that we are able to do this by coming alongside people in both practical and prayerful ways. Aimed at supporting people going through times of long term and ongoing suffering (e.g. chronic illness or other long term or acute needs).
Incorporating Cards that Care. A big part of this ministry is a ministry of letters, and otherwise keeping in touch and spending time with, and being a companion to, someone or family going through times of suffering and hurt. This ministry encourages people to commit their life and times into God’s capable hands and to trust in Him to enable them to cope, to keep going, and to have a real hope for the future.
