A simple initiative encouraging
the world to be kind.

Hello!

If you have come to this page having received something with a Be Kind sticker, then welcome! We are so glad you’ve found us.

We hope you were blessed by whatever kindness you received!

Be Kind is an initiative of Influence Church, created in this time where kindness is needed, now more than ever. Often when panic or uncertainty hits, we go into a me first mentality. We think there is a better way to handle it, by thinking beyond our personal needs and loving others.

Be Kind is a way to spread some joy to people across the North of England, to show some light and love to our world.

The circumstances we’re facing as a country are unusual for all of us, are uncertain for many and could be pretty scary for some. The Bible is full of good advice and wisdom that applies to this time, it reassures us that there is hope and that we aren’t alone, as a Church we firmly believe that.

“Do to others, as you would have them do to you.”
Matthew 7:12 – The Bible

We all love receiving kindness! So we want to start a movement of showing some kindness to others. The world is always so much better when are all being kind together, so pass it on!
