A service will take place in Peterborough to commemorate how God has turned the small church project into a nationwide movement of over 160 churches.
Tim Morfin, Chief Executive for TLG told Premier more about the charity’s achievements.
“Well the vision we began with was just to support local children in Bradford in Yorkshire, but then really sensed God stir us about the need across the nation,” he said.
“The fact that there are over 4 million kids now growing up in poverty, there are over 400,000 exclusions given to children who are entitled to an education but are being denied access to school.
“We just really sensed God stir our hearts to mobilise the Church across the UK to make a difference and that’s what’s happened.
“Churches of all different shapes and sizes have stepped up in partnership with TLG and so by the end of 2018, just in that year alone, we’d supported 5,002 children and we were in partnership with 220 different local churches.”
The TLG team has grown so much that the charity has roots from Newquay to Inverness, and now even in Lisbon Portugal.
More than 800 people will gather at Kingsgate Church in Peterborough to celebrate the contribution people have made to expanding the charity.
