CURRENT CAMPAIGN
Harvest for the Hungry
A life-line for many in desperate need in Eastern Europe as thousands of families in eastern Europe face a harsh winter without food.
We are all aware of recent price rises that have affected the cost of everyday items. Partners were reporting in 2021 about prices going up. It is an extremely challenging time for so many people throughout the world.
According to the UN, global food prices are 30% higher than the same time last year. Moldova, one of the poorest countries in Europe, has inflation of over 27%.
These figures show the scale of inflation across Eastern Europe. TEN is planning to respond in a strategic way to help partners who are experiencing hardship. ... See MoreSee Less

Moldova definitely needs our prayers and support. We have these figures and the lack of rainfall.
27% in Moldova! That is a very serious situation for both individuals and the economy….
Harvest for the Hungry is a wonderful way to meet practical needs by providing food parcels, hot meals and other household items. But it is a great way for our partners to share the good news of Jesus Christ as they build relationships with individuals and families in their communities.
This year, we mark thirty years of this appeal. Watch this video to find out why Harvest for the Hungry is so important, and how you can get involved. ... See MoreSee Less

Harvest for the Hungry grants were sent out to our partners in November last year. Grants ranged from 440 euros to 3,500 euros, depending on the size of their project.
Thanks to your generous support, TEN was able to fully fund eighteen of these projects and part-fund eight more.
Thank you!

We had a team day yesterday! Melanie Griffiths (Supporters & Churches Officer) organised a lovely day for us, walking through Frampton on Severn, before enjoying the amazing shu pies at The Three Horseshoes (sorry, we didn't think to take a photo of them!).
After being completely set up for the rest of the day, we enjoyed a walk along the Gloucester and Sharpness Canal, topping everything off with an ice cream.
It was particularly good to spend the day with our newest member of the TEN team, Moira Ruff, who is our Finance Administrator. Moira has been with us for two weeks and is settling in great. Please pray for Moira as she learns all the intricacies of the role. We're delighted that God has led her to us. ... See MoreSee Less

Emil and Vesna are both graduates of ISTL (International School of Theology & Leadership) in Tirana, Albania. In 2014, they moved to Struga, North Macedonia, close to the Albanian border, to plant a church.
God has been with Emil and Vesna at every step, taking them through their studies, laying the town of Struga on their hearts, enabling their move, and keeping that connection with Albanians who they care for deeply.

Artur Tushi, known as Turi, is the leader of the evangelical churches in Berat and Kucove. Turi is married to Noku, and they have four boys.
Every January the churches pray and fast to seek God's will and direction.
We're really blown away by this dedication to following God's plans and purposes. Do you or your church have a dedicated time of seeking God's will? How do you go about it? Feel free to comment - we'd love to hear from you.
