Helping the Homeless
2019 • E4 Jan 27, 2019 35m
The Rev Kate Bottley and JJ Chalmers join a mass charity sleep-out in Edinburgh city centre raising funds for homeless people and meet Christians helping those who have slept rough.
Kate joins charity workers on a food van visiting a homeless hostel, and meets those who've survived life on the street and are now moving on with hope.
In Manchester, one enterprising Christian describes an ingenious solution - a hostel on wheels he's created by converting a tour bus. Many of the hymns and songs come from Stockbridge Church in Edinburgh.
Music:
Let All the World in Every Corner Sing
We Cannot Measure How You Heal
Will You Come and Follow Me
Meekness and Majesty from St David's Church, Exeter, with Graham Kendrick
Leaning on the Everlasting Arms from St Elisabeth's Church, Reddish.
Before the Throne of God Above from St Thomas the Martyr, Newcastle, with Philippa Hanna
And a lovely performance of Be Thou My Guardian and My Guide.
