The Free Church of Scotland has donated a combined of amount of £8,000 to three causes – in Ukraine, Spain and the Middle East– through it’s Disaster and Relief fund.
In Spain, many families and churches in Valencia were affected by severe storms and flooding, with their homes and belongings suffering extensive damage. The Mission Board of the Free Church of Scotland has given £1,000 from the Disaster and Relief fund to support locals through a local church who are providing aid and support for those most affected. These funds will be used by local partners to provide essential food items, medicine, warm clothing and other vital resources to rebuild what has been damaged. Please join with us in prayer for the people affected by the flooding, that the Lord would protect them, and that they would have a sense of His presence and comfort.
In Ukraine and Middle East, we recognise the significant impact on local people of long conflict, affecting their homes, livelihoods and families. Conflict in these regions has devastated so many lives and millions have fled their homes in search of safety, with many still in urgent need of food, shelter and medical care. After a recent visit from Robbie Morrison, Tearfund Scotland and Safa Hijazeen, Regional Director for Eurasia and North Africa (ENA) at Tearfund to the Free Church of Scotland, Rev David Meredith said: “The devastation in Gaza is beyond human comprehension. The culture of darkness and death is pervasive. It’s difficult to get accurate numbers but on average 300 people die each day because of the conflict”
Please join us in praying for those impacted, displaced and grieving due to these conflicts. Pray that the Lord would bring deep comfort to them, and that He would bring peace to these nations.
In order to support causes like this it is essential that we have a fund to enable donations to be made. If you would like to donate to the Disaster and Relief fund, go to: Donate & Pay – Free Church of Scotland with the payment description ‘Disaster and Relief’.
