When a Pavement Project worker takes a street child through a counselling session, one of the tools at their disposal are the pocket cards – four little cards with a picture and a verse, which remind the child of a key truth. One depicts welcoming hands, another the safety of knowing God. Children can choose the one that speaks to them the most. For some, that card becomes a treasured possession.
This week we heard of the cards being used in quite a different context, as a chaplain wrote to us, surprised to find they were intended for children. “We are all God’s children”, she wrote, “and if you knew how many old ladies I have visited in hospital who say ‘I’ve met you before and you gave me this’, and then extract from their purses one of the little cards… These cards have been such a blessing to so many, just when they needed reminding how precious and loved they are.”
We have a large supply of the four pocket cards, and are currently featuring them in our summer warehouse clearance. You can view and order them here.
If you haven’t browsed the other items in the clearance, the full list is here – including discontinued products, overstock, and old favourites.
