CBN UK is delighted to announce an exciting strategic partnership with The Message Trust, a collaboration focused on launching nationwide food pantries to combat food insecurity and promote spiritual renewal across the United Kingdom. This partnership is a cornerstone initiative of the Founders Club, aiming to bring transformational change by addressing both physical and spiritual hunger.
Unity in Mission: The Road to One Million
At the heart of this partnership lies a shared vision: to introduce one million people to the hope and love of Jesus Christ. Both CBN UK and The Message Trust are dedicated to driving generational change within communities, understanding that true transformation occurs when practical support meets spiritual empowerment. By uniting our efforts, we enhance our capacity to meet urgent societal needs while clearly communicating the Gospel message.
“Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.”
Philippians 4:7-8
The Message Trust has established itself as an innovative leader in addressing food insecurity through its distinctive grocery store model. More than merely offering affordable food, their model prioritises dignity, community support, and spiritual care. Each store serves as a place where physical nourishment intersects with spiritual encouragement, impacting countless individuals and families in profound ways.
Why The Message Trust?
When considering strategic partners for the Founders Club initiative, The Message Trust stood out prominently. The alignment of both organisations—spiritually, strategically, and practically—makes this partnership uniquely effective. The Message Trust’s proven success in empowering communities aligns perfectly with CBN UK’s commitment to spreading the Gospel through compassionate action.
Empowering Local Churches
Central to this partnership is the empowerment of local churches. CBN UK and The Message Trust will collaboratively equip churches across the UK to become key distribution points for the food pantries, providing practical resources and spiritual outreach. This joint venture not only addresses immediate nutritional needs but also positions churches as pivotal hubs of hope, offering lasting spiritual nourishment and community support.
Building Generational Change Together
The Founders Club plays a vital role in making this vision a reality. Supporters joining the Founders Club help lay the foundation for nationwide impact, contributing directly to the establishment and expansion of food pantries in partnership with The Message Trust. Together, we can effectively combat hunger, share the life-changing message of Christ, and cultivate sustained community growth and resilience.
We invite you to join us in this impactful initiative. Through your support of the Founders Club, you become a catalyst for change, helping to ensure that communities across the UK are fed physically and spiritually. Together with The Message Trust, we are committed to building stronger, healthier, and spiritually vibrant communities—now and for generations to come.
Alisa Latty-Alleyne, National Director of CBN UK, shares her enthusiasm for the partnership: “I am excited to begin this partnership with the Message Trust and its Founder Andy Hawthorne. We believe in the power of partnerships; just as Jesus called the disciples to cast their nets together, we believe that God will bless our combined efforts to make an even greater impact.”
