Thank you
Our extraordinary supporters Not by halves Reverend Andrew Scott’s running journey began when he spent a week with BMS mission workers, the Gregory family, in Albania. “I was shocked at the levels of poverty,” says Andrew
“So, when an appeal letter came in the post, it felt natural to do something.” Signing up to a half marathon, Andrew raised over £300 for a BMS-supported community centre in Tirana (read more on page 18), triggering
a generous donation from his parents who’d promised to double their gift if he ran a personal best! “My prayer is that Albania would experience some of what Jesus said in John 10: 10,” says
Andrew. And along with all our BMS supporters who allow the important work in Albania to continue, you’re part of that answer to prayer. Thank you, Andrew!
The Big Read Standing with survivors A huge thank you to all who gave to our South Sudan’s Conflict Survivors appeal.
Combining a love of reading with a love of God’s word resulted in Green St Green Baptist Church, Bromley, hosting ‘The Big Read’ – one of the most dedicated fundraising events we’ve come across!
A group of incredible BMS supporters came together in a sponsored attempt to read the entire New Testament in one weekend. “The church had held
several fundraisers for BMS work in Chad, and we wanted to do our bit,” explains Pat. The event raised over £1,300 for Guinebor II, BMS’ mission hospital in Chad. With six new mission workers joining the project in 2020, the money will go to incredible use. Watch this space for Operation: Chad: our Harvest appeal coming in 2020!
