Above us only sky?' is a charity that aims to find immediate solutions for those who are living rough on the streets. Their vision is to provide every homeless person in the UK with a military-style, all-weather sleeping bag, capable of keeping them warm whatever the conditions. They also help with recovery programmes for the homeless and provide warming refreshments every Saturday morning.
Their vision is to provide every homeless person in the UK with a military-style, all weather sleeping bag, capable of keeping them warm whatever the conditions may be. However, the sleeping bag is just the start; they aim to build loving relationships with the homeless and helpless, to meet not just their physical but also their spiritual needs, to show them God’s love and to treat them with respect and dignity. This means talking to them, listening to them, comforting them, praying with them and providing for them in a variety of ways.
Above Us Only Sky? is not just a reference to the fact that the homeless in our communities don’t have a roof over their heads; it also alludes to the fact that there is more to life than this, that there is a God in heaven who loves us and wants us to find salvation and eternal life through His son, Jesus. This is something that we share with the homeless that we are working with, showing them the love of God by meeting their immediate needs with the hope that as we share the gospel, many more will come to faith.
