Mama Zhivka, a Christian who is part of the local church in the remote Roma village of Slatina, Bulgaria is a beacon of hope to the community as she cooks and serves up bowls of hot soup for people, particularly the children.

Thanks to a grant from donations to our Harvest for the Hungry appeal, Mission Possible Bulgaria were able to purchase ingredients for the soup kitchen from the start of the year until the middle of April.

There is a real need in this community for help with food provision, as many of the residents face a lack of stable employment. The work available to them is seasonal, so providing for their families throughout the year is tough. The church in Slatina not only provides practical help but offers spiritual encouragement through believers visiting homes and sharing the gospel.

Evangelical Protestant Church Shishmantsi is a Roma church in Bulgaria which our partner Nikola Atanasov oversees. With a grant provided through your donations to Harvest for the Hungry, they purchased food to make up forty packages and went into the community to share practical love.

Church members visited local people experiencing poverty who as yet, don't know Christ, so that they would be helped with food provision and there might be the opportunity to tell them about Jesus Christ. Many people were taken by surprise by the church's kindness to them.

As TEN staff, it is a privilege to be part of something so wonderful as working alongside our faithful partners in the Balkans and Eastern Europe to serve God. It is also a privilege to work alongside each other.

Yesterday, we enjoyed a lovely team day together. We enjoyed great food at @justasyouareteacottage at Severn Beach and The Ugly Mug café in Chepstow, as well as doing a treasure hunt around the town.

We are all very different but the dynamic just works, and this is not something we take for granted. It is the grace of God. ... See MoreSee Less

We're taking part in the Sofia Marathon and Half-Marathon this year! A team of nine will take part of these running events in Bulgaria's capital on 11th October to raise funds for Emanuel Hospice in Oradea, Romania, and the wider work of TEN.

Our fundraising target is £15,000 and funds raised will be split equally between Emanuel Hospice - for their residential Palliative Care Centre building project - and where most needed across the TEN network.

On our team we have Warren, Zoë, Justin, Matt and Jon. Mihai and Raul will represent Emanuel Hospice. James and Chris of the TEN staff team will also take part. To sponsor our team, visit: www.stewardship.org.uk/pages/run4ten

Thank you for supporting Harvest for the Hungry. We were able to send a grant from donations raised to Anita Dimitrievska who pastors Ohrid Evangelical Church in North Macedonia. The church was then able to give out food parcels to twenty families in need. Each parcel contained a tract to share the Good News of Jesus Christ.
