To Befriend or Be a friend
Today we find out about Hope Into Action (HIA) a UK charity, founded in 2010.
They stand on the principle… that everyone has the right to a home, and churches have the power to meet the tragedy of homelessness in their community. They partner with churches to enable them to house and support the homeless. They welcome people of all faiths and none, all ethnicities and sexualities.
Joining us on the podcast are Jonathan Tame - who has been working two days a week for 18 months, as an Empowerment Worker for HIA. Jonathan lives with Helene, one of his 5 children, a three-legged cat in St Neots and supports Liverpool FC.
In addition, we are joined by Kevin McIntryre - who has been a ‘befriender’ for HIA for the last 2 years. Kevin lives with wife Lisa, two children and too many pets including a bearded dragon! Kevin has been calling C3 home for nearly 20 years.

WHAT IS ASCEND MEN?
Imagine a community of men who are challenged, inspired and equipped to live passionate lives for Jesus. A place where men-care-for-men through a small number of honest personal relationships initiated and supported by regular male-oriented events. Relationships are built shoulder-to-shoulder doing stuff in preference to eye-balling each other!
Ascend Men is that community.
Our podcasts reflect that desire to challenge, inspire and equip our men. Some are light-hearted easy-listens. Some deserve to be digested and pondered. If you love them, tell us - we could do with the encouragement. If you can see ways they could be improved, tell us - feedback is a gift.
Join our Facebook group or email us (ascend@thec3.uk) to hear more about our fantastic breakfasts in Cambridge, Bury and Colchester as well as our annual Summit in February and Camp in July.
