Joining with Jericho Road gives you and your church the opportunity to tell a new story on Jericho Road.
You can join us on the road by doing something at your church or you can be part of something at our place.
Jericho Road runs and supports a range of ministries and projects. When you donate, you can choose to direct your donation to a particular area, or have it go to wherever it’s needed at the time. Below you will see some of the ministries that we can run only with the financial help of our supporters.
Joining with Jericho Road gives you and your church the opportunity to tell a new story on Jericho Road. You can join us on the road by doing something at your church or you can be part of something at our place. Opportunities for both exist in all the following areas… and many more that we haven’t thought about but you might be able to imagine:
Your church can get involved in seeking justice, showing mercy and making the love of Jesus known in many different ways. You may be doing a lot already, or you may just be getting started.
Here are some things we know churches are doing on the ground already:
- Community Kitchen – Providing dinner to anyone in need of food or company
- Caring for the Community – Staying in touch with what’s happening in the neighbourhood, and if there is someone in need getting together a care pack and some meals
- Services – Holding a special service for those dealing with grief and loss, especially around Christmas
- Support – If there is someone in the local church who has a job working for justice or showing mercy, supporting them personally and supporting their work
- Helping the lonely – Putting on a Christmas lunch for those who will be alone or hosting an afternoon tea a few times a year
- Food – Operating a food ministry
- Playgroup – Running a playgroup, particularly one that is inclusive
- Support groups – Hosting support groups, such as one for parents of kids with disabilities, folk with mental illness, those dealing with grief and carers
- Study Hall – Providing a place for senior high school students who need a quiet space, a coffee and a listening ear
- Breakfast – Supporting a group that provides breakfasts for kids at school
