Launch Extracts This new venture is about engaging with the wider world – reaching out to those in need, with a willingness to enter into their struggles and hopes. And in this instance, the desire is to help and support those with, or affected by cancer. This ministry is not about duplicating the care already being provided by the established professional health agencies, nor is it in competition with charities like Coping with Cancer or LOROS – but it is about working alongside them.   This new ministry is one of both pastoral and spiritual care. The Christian ministry of healing, forgiveness and reconciliation, alongside that pastoral care which seeks to provide an oasis for listening, searching, encouragement and compassion. Cancer Care is not an exclusive in-house support group providing only for the needs of Christians – it seeks to be an open door, without agendas or boundaries for ALL who seek support and care.
