It is easy to see neighbours in need today, but walk away from them. It is easy to look at our neighbours in need, but walk past them.
 Yet Jesus asks, who will ‘be neighbours’ for those in need today?
 Fr Richard Rohr from the Center for Action and Contemplation says ‘…until you recognize and love, and forgive, and embrace the poor part of yourself you will not hear the Gospel… the poor hold the seed of the Gospel and the Church rediscovers Christ in the least’

The message of SURRENDER is not the whole Gospel, it can never be, but it does seek to address a gap. We believe that the call to a radical and true discipleship has too often been overlooked or sidelined n the west and that there is a pressing need for new voices, new stories and renewed calls for all Christian’s to consider Christ’s call to follow him in costly, personal involvement with the poor and powerless.

As the Eden project’s Gary Bishop says ‘…the church must rediscover it’s God-given mandate to serve the poor and stand up for the oppressed. This is not, and can never be, purely the domain of those believers who ‘are that way inclined’ or to those who ‘feel a particular burden for the poor’; a commitment to the poor is integral to the Christian faith, paramount in the teaching of Jesus and inherently part of the character of God and therefore any serious follower of Jesus must take seriously their (personal) responsibility to the poor.’

SURRENDER exists to help call the body of believers to this Kingdom mandate.
