The Lydia Call Ministries hasn't added a story.
The Lydia Call is a non-denominational Christain Ladies Ministry founded on the 25th of July 2012, when a group of women embarked on a journey of growth together.
We started this fundraising to raise £100,000 to open and run a new Christian Bookshop (with library) and Coffee Place. We have been praying since Cornerstone, our local Christian Bookshop closed in July 2013, seven months after Refresh, the Christian Coffee Shop next door to it closed.
Yemii Haastrup had volunteered at Refresh Coffee Shop right from when it opened till the day it closed it's doors in December 2012, so Yemii's first reaction when she learnt that Cornerstone was soon to close was to pray, and then suggested to the staff and volunteers at Cornerstone to start fundraising for a new shop that would be a combination of bookshop and coffee shop.
That was almost 2 years ago, we have raised a little over £2000 pounds from friends and family menbers since February this year through our 'a prayer and a pound' campaign and hope we can reach our target faster using this media.
We believe that through the grace of God and the generousity of you kind people, we will raise the funds to establish this new shop that will provide part-time employment for approximately 4 to 6 people and volunteering experience for many more. It will be a place where people will come to get refreshed and rejuvenated, where many events, activities and workshops will take place. A real community hub, just like Refresh Coffee Shop use to be.
Together we can make it happen! You can donate any amount from £1

Please see below for update as at 2 July 2015 money donated on this site and directly into our bank account. Our prayer for you our supporters is from the Bible, stated here:
2 Corinthians 9:8-15
8 And God is able to bless you abundantly, so that in all things at all times, having all that you need, you will abound in every good work. 9 As it is written:
“They have freely scattered their gifts to the poor;
their
righteousness endures forever.”
10 Now he who supplies seed to the sower and bread for food will also supply and increase your store of seed and will enlarge the harvest of your righteousness. 11 You will be enriched in every way so that you can be generous on every occasion, and through us your generosity will result in thanksgiving to God.
12 This service that you perform is not only supplying the needs of the Lord’s people but is also overflowing in many expressions of thanks to God.13 Because of the service by which you have proved yourselves, others will praise God for the obedience that accompanies your confession of the gospel of Christ, and for your generosity in sharing with them and with everyone else. 14 And in their prayers for you their hearts will go out to you, because of the surpassing grace God has given you. 15 Thanks be to God for his indescribable gift!
