A new Shine Your Light Outreach Toolkit has also been launched to help churches take practical steps towards reaching some of the most overlooked people in society. This downloadable resource brings together Christian ministries, charities, practical outreach ideas, support organisations and potential funding opportunities.

• Prisons: Supporting prisoners and those connected with prison communities.
• Loneliness and isolation: Reaching people who are alone, elderly, bereaved or socially isolated.
• Housing estates: Taking the gospel into communities where churches may have limited resources.
• Homelessness: Supporting the many who are homelessness in our communities
• Refugees and asylum seekers: Offering friendship, welcome and practical support while sharing the hope of Christ.

“Christmas reminds us that God’s love reaches everyone, especially those too often forgotten.
