Green Pastures

 

Isaiah 58: 6-7 says ”Is not this the kind of fasting I have chosen: to loose the chains of injustice and untie the cords of the yoke, to set the oppressed free and break every yoke?  Is it not to share your food with the hungry and to provide the poor wanderer with shelter— when you see the naked, to clothe them, and not to turn away from your own flesh and blood?

Green Pastures is all about housing the poor. Green Pastures provides the poor wanderer with shelter.

Green Pastures will be presenting and speaking about their ministry at Passion for God 2012.

Green Pastures is a Christian charitable landlord with big vision. We partner with local churches, charitable faith groups and local authorities to establish pastoral care for each tenant. We are sustainable and do not rely on any gift or grants. Green Pastures leases its properties to its partners which include churches, charities and local authorities.

We also actively lobby politicians locally and nationally to engineer social change.

Foundational to the growth of Green Pastures has been the constant early morning prayer meetings at Shoreline Church in Southport, where this ministry began.
