Rainbow of Hope Projects
The Foundation of all
Our Projects
All the work of this charity is founded on prayer. In particular it was born out
of a prayer session involving two readings:
Luke 9 - the feeding of the five thousand. This encompasses the practical side of
the work. Through this reading God was saying to feed people and to use no money
but what we have and that he would bless it. It meant sharing their food with one
another and God blessing the offering that was made.
John 21:15 - Jesus and Peter. This encompasses the spiritual side of the work. Jesus
asks Peter to "feed my lambs" and "feed my sheep". The lambs we identified are those
who are outside, who don't know anything about God or the church and may use the
name of Christ only as a swear word. The sheep we identify as different people in
varying churches who are vitally important to the whole w
ork.
It is especially important that we are seen as Christians working for the kingdom
of God and not for individual churches or denominations. We feel Christ is saying
"draw people in" - both those who don't know him and those who do - into the united
body of Christ.
Our work is divided into several different projects. These are:
Paradise Run
The 'Paradise Run' is our soup run, which takes place every week night.
