From Steve, the group leader:
‘Broken and Mended’ is a Christian chronic pain support ministry for those whose normal, everyday lives have been massively impacted because they are hurting, literally, every single day in a struggle with physical pain and/or illness, while at the same time seeking to view the world through being a disciple of Jesus Christ.
In the past few years, I have been unable to work and suffering with increasingly debilitating pain, unable to sit, stand, or walk for more than a short time without immense difficulty and pain. The severity of my condition recently resulted in an unplanned, humiliating, and unwelcome week in hospital over the Christmas period, which was very difficult for both me and my wife and family.
Over the past year or more, I have found that linking up with a small monthly international group has provided an oasis to connect with others experiencing different but equally impactful chronic pain conditions, some generally doing better than before, others still really struggling in different ways.
I honestly often feel much more broken than mended, but this is a process in which we can encounter God afresh in meeting with others we can relate to.
As with mine, everyone’s story is unique, but it helps to know there are those out there who can relate to you, who can understand what you’re going through, and you can journey together through sharing, encouragement, biblical reflection, and prayer.
I (Steve) am seeking to facilitate the first UK online ‘Broken and Mended’ monthly support group, commencing in March, April, or May 2026. Fill out the contact form on this page to connect with Steve and learn how to connect with this new virtual support group.
