- Your gift of £12 could provide essential food items such as pasta, beans and rice for a woman like Bibi and her family, nourishing them for a whole month.
- £60 could provide vital hygiene items such as soap, sanitary products and underwear for ten families who have nothing.
- A gift of £160 could enable a BMS-supported refugee centre to stay open, so BMS’ partner workers can share the gospel with women like Bibi, and they can experience Jesus’ love for the first time.
Safe Haven appeal
Help refugees on the island of Lesbos this winter
How are you hoping to spend this winter’s night?
Whatever comes to mind, you’re likely picturing being somewhere cosy, warm and safe.
You’re probably not thinking of a rough sea crossing, of biting winds and the anguish of fleeing the country you love. That’s how Bibi* spent last Christmas.
This winter, could you give a gift of hope to a refugee like Bibi who has lost everything?
Bibi is from Afghanistan. Life there was desperate. And after being forced to flee, Bibi found herself living in a tent in a Greek transit camp, on the island of Lesbos.
How will your gifts make a difference?
If you have a question about giving to BMS, or would prefer to give by phone or cheque:
- Call us on 01235 517641 Monday to Friday 10 am – 4 pm. When you call BMS, please mention that your gift is for the Safe Haven appeal.
- Email us at supportercare@bmsworldmission.org
- Please send cheques to:
BMS World Mission, PO Box 49,
129 Broadway, Didcot, Oxfordshire OX11 8XA
Your gift will be used to support refugees in Lesbos, Greece.
If our appeal target is exceeded, we will use additional funds to support similar work with refugees in other parts of the world.
This winter, more and more frightened women will find themselves living in flimsy tents, trying to wash, dress and remain hidden behind the thin canvas to protect their modesty.
A heartfelt gift, given today, could provide a refugee from Afghanistan, Sudan or Palestine with clean clothes, good food and a safe place to wash and rest. Please give if you’re able.
