Latest News from BMS World Mission
update: 11 September 2008
It's approaching a month since the Koshi River flooded in south east Nepal. It's left tens of thousands of people in temporary shelters - with huge challenges ahead to keep them alive.
Whilst flooding further south in Bihar, India has been reported in the Western media, the situation in Nepal has been forgotten. Get updated on what's happening in Sunsari, and how BMS' partner, the United Mission to Nepal, is making a difference by clicking the first link below. Please pray for both those most affected and those providing relief.
Also on the website, we are launching 'A Saviour is born', BMS' Christmas resource for 2008. Get a first look at the online materials. DVDs for this exciting resource will be mailed to all UK Baptist ministers later this month.
Plus - it's not too late to get hold of BMS materials for Harvest. Get in touch with us today, or download items from the website, if you need anything for your church's service or supper.
