Heather Bellamy interviewed Pastor Peter Cunningham of Green Pastures, an organisation that houses homeless people.

If anyone would like to know more about Green Pastures or find out if they can help in their area somehow, how can they go about this?

1. Contact us to say they are interested

2. If we have a conference/meeting, in their area come to it and MEET US. By the way we do not charge for conferences. The Scripture says buy the truth and sell it not and freely you have received, freely give.

3. Invest in the Limited Company, buy some shares and we will pay you bonus

4. Place a loan with us and we will pay 5% interest.

5. Partner with us in your local town. Let us help you to develop this ministry

6. We run a nine month programme for young people who want to take a year out, which includes as part of their time with us working with those that we have housed.

7. Pray for us, that God will keep us strong and give us wisdom, that we will not flinch from the battle and task ahead for we sincerely believe this in one way the Church can arise, lift up Christ in our Nation, defeat the Kingdom of darkness and bring the principles of the Kingdom to birth

Let me tell you one story, four years ago we entered into our largest purchase of that time, three properties containing 18 flats of which 10 where empty. It was known to be a place where addicts had lived and lived, but we believed that because there were 10 empty units there it would meet the need of those so desperately reaching out for someone to care for them. The day after our purchase we arrived to find the place cordoned off by the police, I was informed by them that two men had been murdered in one of the flats, I felt devastated by the loss of life and my mind was in turmoil as I felt emptied of hope that people would now want to live in such an environment. I went to my home immediately and fell on my knees and questioned God. Father do you know what has happened, do you know what you are doing, and I had one of those strange experiences when I felt the Spirit of God speak within my being.

"DO YOU THINK I DON'T KNOW WHAT I AM DOING" I felt strangely rebuked and in awe as that voice spoke again. "FOR YOUR BENEFIT I WILL TURN BACK THE CORNER OF MY PLAN SO THAT YOU CAN SEE WHAT I AM TRULY DOING, BY THE PURCHASE OF THIS PROPERY YOU HAVE JUST INVADED ONE OF THE WORST PLACES OF THE KINGDOM OF DARKNESS IN THIS TOWN AND YOU HAVE TAKEN IT FOR THE KINGDOM OF LIGHT." I trembled in the presence of God. I felt sad at the audaciousness of my spirit and repented at that moment of my unbelief. God has called us to destroy the Kingdom of darkness. If the Church rises as one the gates of hell will not prevail, we will see the righteousness that is within the Church lift our Nation again. We are in the day of opportunity. Let us not miss it.
