Paradise Run
Our soup run - The Paradise Run - takes place from 8 - 9 o'clock every week night.
Food and drink are served to anyone in need, and not exclusivley to the homeless.
Recipients of the soup run are from varying backgrounds. Some are rough sleepers,
others sleep in squats or live in hostels. Many have experienced relationship difficulties,
are struggling with drug or alcohol problems or are lonely or bereaved. What they
all have in common is the need for someone to stand alongside them and share their
burden.
As we do this we are addressing their most basic need - to be given back their worth
in Christ. As society in general sees a person going through difficulties it tends
to blame the person and takes off the label which Christ puts on them when they
were born. That label is "Priceless". Society replaces this label with "useless"
or "worthless". Everyone, including you or I, has to accept their share of the guilt
for ripping God's price tickets off people.
The main focus of the soup run is therefore:
1. To feed those who are hungry
2. To be a friend
We listen to their problems and help if we can, or point them in the right direction.
The Paradise Run is located on Charles Street, opposite the rear door of Marks and Spencers on Queen Street. Below is a Google map of the area.
