LAM Marriage Workshop
Unfortunately, almost all of us enter into married life with a lack of skills and tools to help create the marriage we desire – one filled with love, intimacy, enjoyment, hope, and security. But it doesn’t have to stay that way. THERE IS HOPE. It doesn’t matter if you’ve been married a month or 20 years… We’ve all had those times of escalating conflicts, feeling hurt and frustrated toward each other, and experiencing the pain and stress of disconnection – even hopelessness at times. We understand, and LAM workshops have helped thousands of couples world-wide learn how to restore, maintain, and deepen the connection in their marriage relationship, regardless of their history. You can build, restore and protect the intimacy in your marriage by getting equipped with the right skills and tools, and learning to navigate the intricacies of marriage with God. It’s time to discover what God really intended for your marriage.
Next workshop starts: 24th July 2020 (workshop runs for 12 weekly sessions)

School Holiday Eco Art Workshops
For the upcoming holidays, all our activities will be run in-house with a maximum of 8 children per workshop.
We’re doing something special these holidays by focusing in on ‘life skills’ such as sewing and basic construction.
We’ve also extended the length of some of our workshops, tailored towards older groups, to give parents/carers the opportunity to drop-off the kids in order to maximise their day.

Hope for the Jogini Girls dinners
Due to popular demand, we are hosting a 3rd live-streamed ‘Hope for the Jogini Girls’ dinner, with special guest: Marina Prior.
For over 2,000 years, girls have been dedicated as Joginis, and thereafter trapped in ritualised abuse.
Join from the comfort of your home enjoying a meal with your guests. The ministry with some of the most marginalised and abused women in India has advanced remarkably, even in the midst of COVID-19. Hear from our team on the ground, and be encouraged by stories of transformation and hope.
To participate you will need internet access and a mobile phone or computer, that connects to a TV screen. Resources and support will be provided to ensure a memorable evening. This is not a Zoom meeting, it is a live-streamed event.
