Tamworth Baptist Church & Ukraine
We have received the following message from our friends in Ukraine:
An update from our friends in Ukraine:
“Peace be upon you. Thank God! Now God uses churches in a special way to help people who are suffering. Our church receives people from the east of Ukraine every day. We feed them, provide them with accommodation and then transport them by bus to the west and to the border. Now more than ever, people feel that God cares for them through the churches. I can’t say anything about Korsunka now, because we are overwhelmed with things in Talne. But we will definitely collect social packages for them and visit them.” “People are very open to the gospel now. I don’t know about Hope Now. So far we have not received anything, but thank God that there are always people who donate and we can perform more services. Thank you for praying and grieving for us. Bless you and your families. Greet the church. We love you.”

Dear Hope Now friends and family,
As you can imagine there is already so much need in Ukraine, we have brothers and sisters sheltering in cellars and enclosed halls for safety. During our prayer meeting with them on Monday the alarms sounded for yet another air raid. There were tears from both sides. To enable us to go back fully prepared we are launching our Hope Now Ukraine Relief Appeal and would ask that you seriously consider how you can help. Donations may be made by cheques or bank transfer, blankets, warm clothing, bandages and medications can be delivered to our office in Southampton for onward delivery to Ukraine. There is also a link that you can watch made by our team in Cherkassy. https://youtu.be/-itGD7CLDB8
Thank you for your love and support,
We have heard from our friends in Ukraine and they have created a Facebook page so that we can look to pray for them. They are asking for prayer and will look to update when they can.
BRIEF HISTORY
The Sunday School continued to thrive although it was proving very difficult to reach the adult population.
Most years a small team from Tamworth has spent a week in the village to encourage the work there.
Over time the village has depopulated and many of the children have moved on. The decision was then made to focus our efforts on the elderly in the village.
Since then many people in the village have been witnessed to. Sharing the
Gospel on the streets, through house visits and through’ Meals With a Message.’
A small house-group meets occasionally but so far there has not been the fruits we hoped for. Nevertheless the work goes on. If this enterprise is truly of God then nothing will stop it coming to fruition.
Our planned visit in 2020 was cancelled unfortunately due to the pandemic. Hopefully we will return in 2021.
