Finding Hope
Are you having a hard time right now? Maybe you want to connect with others with lived experience of disability? or do you just need a chat, or someone to listen?
Two of our Roofbreaker disability champions, Lis and Ian Johnstone, with experience of living with disability, have kindly offered a listening ear through online support to the TTR family.
The support is linked to our Together fellowship groups online, but you don’t need to meet with the group initially, as the hosts can chat with you one-to-one about how we can support you.
As the hosts of these meetings, Ian and Lis,
can offer you a video chat, to see what support we can offer to help you. There’s no pressure to share more than you want to, or to even have your video on, if you prefer to just chat.
Please call the office on 01372 749955 or email us by following this link, and we’ll put you in touch with Lis and Ian.
You don’t need to do life alone. Our Together groups provide the opportunity to meet other people, make friends, share experiences and discover more about God in a safe, welcoming space. There’s a place for you here so please do find out more…
Why not come along to one of our weekly
Zoom meetings and check us out?

The world around us seems increasingly uncertain and hopeless, but you can find a source of certain and endless hope in knowing Jesus Christ – the Son of God.
The Bible tells us that we are all created by God in His image (Genesis 1:26). Each one of us have infinite value and are designed for a purpose. But we have all fallen short of what God made us to be (Romans 3:23).
We have all done, said and thought things that have hurt others, that we’re not proud of. This is what we call ‘sin’ and it separates us from God’s love, goodness and mercy.
The good news is that God is patient, not wanting anyone to perish but everyone to come to repentance (2 Peter 3:9). Repent means to change our behaviour around and to follow God’s ways, rather than our ways.
Although we have all sinned, God made a way to save us. The Bible tells us:
“For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life” (John 3:16).
The world can be a very dark place, where everything seems bleak and we can’t see our way ahead. But Jesus said:
‘I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will not walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.’ (John 8:12)
Jesus wants to welcome you and be there with you in the midst of your struggles. You can reach out towards His light, which is our source of hope: light in your darkness.
Why not take your next step towards Jesus by saying the following prayer…
Lord Jesus,
Thank you for paying the debt for my sin by dying on the cross. I confess my sins and wrong-doing. Thank you for forgiving me and I want to show you my gratitude by turning away from my old sinful habits. I embrace you as the Lord of my life and I desire to follow you the rest of my days. Thank you for giving me power and strength to live a life that honours and pleases you! I pray this in the only Name that saves, Jesus Christ.
Amen.
