Operation Joy expands it's reach into another Greater Manchester borough!!

Ryan who serves as part of our Operation Joy project is set to open a new Drop-In in Ashton-under-Lyne.

Tuesday 9th August 2022 is the big day!

This exciting expansion will enable us to address the needs of people experiencing homelessness throughout Tameside.

Ryan has been finalising some of the finer detail this week with funders, and the manager of Infinity Initiatives the café where we will be running our Drop-In sessions.

As Ryan left Infinity Initiatives after the meeting the lady that was serving behind the counter came running out after him and said, “I believe you are a Christian, could you please pray for my daughter?” There in the middle of the street in Ashton town centre he got and prayed for the woman's daughter.

Ryan said, “You could see people looking with curiosity as to what was happening!” Ryan also said that there was a real presence of God in the situation.

After Ryan finished praying the lady thanked him and went back into the café.

Ryan said that he felt that this was more confirmation that we were in line with the will of God and that having a Drop-In at this location was precisely what God wanted. We are looking forward to what God in the lives of people through this new initiative.
