Commitment for Life (CfL) is the world development programme of the United Reformed Church. CfL works in partnership with Christian Aid and Global Justice.

Learning

CfL encourages us as a participating church to take action, pray and give for people across the world but especially in our four partner countries/region of Bangladesh, Central America, Israel and the occupied Palestinian territory and Zimbabwe.

Our partner region is currently Central America – Honduras, Guatemala, Nicaragua and El Salvador. In previous years we partnered Zimbabwe and prior to that Bangladesh.

Each year a Sunday morning service is devoted to thinking about Commitment for Life, giving us an opportunity to spend time together thinking about the challenges of life in the partner countries.
