Barbara loves her children and would do anything to see them grow up healthy and strong. This harvest, your church is invited to come alongside hardworking farmers like her to bring lasting hope to their families. Could you save the date to host a Days of Plenty service this harvest?

How will your gifts make a difference?

A gift of £12 could enable a farmer like Barbara to sell their crops through Cek Cam and earn up to 30 per cent more for their family.
With £38, you could buy a specialised crop like onions for a household to plant, kick-starting an abundant harvest.
£86 could cover a week’s wages for a worker to meet the spiritual needs of people in Gulu, as well as helping their physical needs.

Gifts to the Days of Plenty appeal will be used to support BMS agricultural work in Uganda. If our appeal target is exceeded, we will use additional funds to support urgent BMS work in other parts of the world.

…in days of famine they will enjoy plenty
Psalm 37: 19
