Welcome to Christians in Care
A very warm welcome to our brand new website and the online home of Christians in Care. We hope that the information here will be helpful and encouraging for followers of Jesus who work in the care sector or support those who do.
Christians in Care began in July 2023 after much prayer and planning. Since it began, we have been blown away by carers who work tirelessly showing the love of Jesus as they care day in and day out. Many of you go above and beyond the call of duty and we want to say that we have noticed this, but much more importantly, God knows this and smiles upon you.
There are so many encouraging stories that are happening on the frontline of care work. Sharing glimpses of hope through amazing testimonies of God’s goodness provide encouragement and strengthen those who faithfully serve in this sector. You can expect to see more of this type of content as we seek to share good, positive, uplifting news from the heart of carers.
However, we know that is just one side of the story. Working in care is rewarding, but can feel isolating, challenging and leave staff feeling undervalued and overworked at times. We long to see care workers supported and built up in their role and in their faith as they live and speak for Jesus. That is why we bring carers together through communication channels like WhatsApp, Zoom and social media. It is a real source of comfort, strength, and unity and we would love you to join.
Christians in Care provides connection through welcoming WhatsApp chats and monthly Zoom calls for carers and those who support them. They are times of enrichment and blessing, to pray together and share openly with those who truly understand the joys and challenges of caring. We provide an option to submit prayer requests knowing God can do immeasurably more than we can ask or imagine in every unique situation (to submit a prayer request, click here). We also organise events and provide useful resources that will inform and enrich you as you follow Jesus in the workplace.
You can register your details to stay updated with Christians in Care. By signing up, you will receive a quarterly newsletter, an invitation to the Zoom meetings and the opportunity to join a WhatsApp group. We are also on social media for encouragement and a further opportunity to connect. We would love to hear from you. Come and join the conversation and champion our amazing care workers!
Be a part of a caring community of individuals who love Jesus. Be affirmed in the incredibly valuable and important role of care work and shining the light of Christ in the workplace. Be strengthened in faith in God through prayer and biblical encouragement. Be assured that good days and hard days are seen by Jesus, and that you are loved and equipped by Him to do all things for His glory.
“‘I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want. I can do all this through him who gives me strength. Yet it was good of you to share in my troubles.’ ”
