Christian Centre for Gambling Rehabilitation (CCGR)

Gambling addiction is a problem particularly prevalent among the Chinese. The CCGR works to help those affected to quit gambling and resolve their debt and personal issues, through the power of the Gospel and also practical rehabilitation courses. We provide financial support for CCGR through the Carelinks Fund.

This year they commemorate their twenty-ninth anniversary.

Operation Christmas Child (Samaritan’s Purse)

Every year Operation Christmas Child collects gift-filled shoeboxes from churches, schools and individuals across the UK and sends them to disadvantaged children all over the world. For many of these children, a Christmas shoebox is the only gift they receive at Christmas. Alongside the gifts, the children are also given the ultimate gift of the Gospel. The Carelinks team encourages our congregations to pack shoeboxes every year and send them to Operation Christmas Child. They then check and send them on for distribution.
