Our Impact
Forming disciples capable of meeting the great social, economic, political and ecological challenges of our time is at the heart of everything we do at Just Love.
We believe that the most effective way to form those sorts of disciples is to cultivate a network – a dense, deeply connected group of highly motivated individuals – committed to a lifelong pursuit of justice in the way of Jesus.
We activate that lifelong pursuit of justice in the way of Jesus through our student work. Through Just Love, students have volunteered in their local communities, doing everything from homeless outreach to English classes for refugees, from youth mentoring to food bank collections, and from 24-hour anti-slavery demonstrations on their campuses to fundraisers for Tearfund and IJM.
We take these experiences of justice discipleship and use them to resource the UK church through our Justice Practices small-group course and through written and video content on the theology of justice.

“I am always impressed by people I meet from Just Love. Their faith in Jesus makes them unstoppably motivated to work to make their community better. They are starting to have an impact in Parliament, and I hope we will see a great deal more of that impact in the years ahead.”

Our Needs Assessment Report
At Just Love, we seek to consistently improve what we do, so that we can see our vision and mission fulfilled. As a movement, we want to be critically engaged and data driven in order to maximise our impact and fruitfulness.
In the summer of 2022, with Eido Research, we conducted a ‘Needs Assessment’, asking 184 Christian students questions about both their individual responses to justice and that of their church. As the first stage in our process of building our impact strategy, we aimed to understand the specific needs of UK Christian students when it comes to pursuing justice in the way of Jesus.
The research highlighted 3 specific areas of need:
1.Most Christian student discipleship is justice-light.
2.Most Christian students are disengaged from the great justice issues of our day.
3.Christian students are generally not finding answers to their deep concern for justice in church.
This clarity on the needs that we are seeking to address has shaped the Impact Strategy we have developed. Christian students care deeply about justice, but they are generally not being well equipped to faithfully pursue justice in the way of Jesus. That clarifies the role that we have to play in forming young disciples for a holistic, fruitful and sustainable pursuit of justice in the way of Jesus.
