This initiative is fueled by £38 million in government funding, reflecting the value of faith-inspired rehabilitation. Leaders and volunteers shared inspiring testimonies, expressing hope and gratitude for restored lives through God’s love and persistent effort.
“Miracles have happened, my life has changed unbelievably and CrossReach has given me such a great opportunity. There’s no magic wand, you have to work at it but I want to help others now.”
Nevis House strengthens outreach in areas where remoteness can make recovery challenging. Its ongoing post-residential support helps residents remain connected to a caring, Christian community.
CrossReach’s expanded outreach includes services for families, children, dementia sufferers, and the homeless, showcasing the Church’s commitment to serving those in need.
The testimonies from residents highlight powerful transformations made possible by allowing Christ to work in their lives and communities.
