Dear Friends,
As we step into a new year, we are writing on behalf of PARCHE to share some of the work the Lord is doing among care home residents in Eastbourne and the surrounding areas.
PARCHE exists to bring the hope of the Gospel into care homes, supporting residents through prayer, Scripture, and compassionate Christian presence. We are continually reminded that this ministry is sustained not by our efforts alone, but by the Lord’s faithfulness and the prayers of His people. We have seen doors open into care homes, volunteers strengthened, and residents comforted, prayed with, and reminded of the hope found in Christ.
Looking ahead, our desire is to strengthen our connection with local churches and to explore how we might work more closely together. We would love to learn how your church is already serving care homes, and to consider how PARCHE might support or complement that work. We are also prayerfully seeking those the Lord may be calling to serve through volunteering and ongoing prayer.
We believe this ministry flourishes best as part of the wider body of Christ, labouring together for His glory. As Scripture encourages us: “Let us not grow weary of doing good, for in due season we will reap, if we do not give up” (Galatians 6:9).
Thank you for taking the time to read this. We look forward to all that the Lord will continue to do through His people in the year ahead.
With every blessing,
Buddy Reeve
On behalf of the PARCHE Trustees
