Connect4life

Connect4life (C4L) provides a fresh approach to reach those who have left church (the ‘disconnected') and those who have no kind of church context (the ‘unconnected'). There are discipleship resources for those who are ‘connected' and also for those who are interested in ‘reconnecting'. Using everyday language and images, the central message is that connection brings life and with it a clear sense of identity, value and purpose. Two short feeder events for courses like Alpha explore this: one for those considering a first connection (The Connected Life) and one for reconnectors (A Better Connection). The support resources are extensive.

Please pray for:

Suicide in prisons is 15 x higher than in the general population; male prisoners are 14 x more likely to have 2+ mental health disorders than general population
