As children, finding friendship and companionship came easily for most, the burdens of life were limited to finding missing socks or not being late for school and you could take your peers at face value without the worries of toxic friendships or ulterior motives, we were placed in environments with peers where communication was five days a week and we never doubted the genuity of a shared laughter.

Now we are older and have found friendships as adults to be a different story, life experiences have tainted and twisted the meaning of the word “friendship” and now we either see how friends can become foes or the lack of depth in the “friendships” created. Daily we realise that God never created us to live life isolated and in the struggle.

If that is you, if you have wandered through life without understanding the principles of creating and retaining true friendships, if you’re worried you’ve never truly fit in anywhere, if you believe you haven’t found people with whom your soul rejoices with when you fellowship, people who inspire you to do better and with whom you can grow mentally, emotionally and spiritually with, fellow believers with whom you have a common foundation of love that is God.

We at LifeLines, have created a safe and welcoming space with a focus of ensuring communal inclusivity and acceptance where people can connect with each other and most importantly, speak and be truly heard.
