My name is Caroline Chalkley and I am the Single Parent Pastor at New Life Bible Church London and was a single parent myself for many years.

 

I have been running the Single Parent Ministry 2008 before leaving my work as a special needs teacher assistant.

 

My desire is that single parents would find their hope in Christ in the season of parenting alone. I have seen my life be transformed from brokenness to wholeness and want to extend that same hope to other single parents so that they can see, in God, that their lives are made for purpose and can have a "fresh start".

 

My husband and I came to New Life Bible Church 14 years ago. One of the visions of our senior Pastor - Pastor Rick was to support single parents. When I heard this I felt prompted by the Lord to get involved. I was not aware I would be called to lead the ministry I just wanted to be involved and support the single parents.

 

In a dream before I was asked to take over the Ministry the lord showed me that the couple who were going to take over needed to return to the USA . I woke up and almost Immediately I had a call saying that they could not return. I waited until I got a call from Pastor Rick to confirm this. The lord showed me his vision and heart for those parenting alone based on foundations and principles of the Word of God that made my life prosperous and whole as a single parent even with all the mistakes I made before I knew the Lord. I want to give back the same comfort God has shown me by serving others and letting them know that if they are planted they shall prosper.
