Two years on from the devastating earthquakes, BMS World Mission reports on a very special self-help project

by

 

Manisha is ten and Ayushma is six. These little girls are two of the thousands of people your gifts to BMS World Mission’s Nepal earthquake appeal continue to help.

Living in Gorkha District, one of the areas hardest hit by the 2015 earthquakes, Manisha and Ayushma were left particularly vulnerable after the disaster. Both of them have hearing problems, and their mothers were having to shout at them to get them to understand anything.

BMS and our partners have set up a self-help group in the village for people affected by the earthquakes, particularly focusing on those with disabilities. Thanks to this, both Manisha and Ayushma have managed to get operations to improve their hearing. Now they can learn at school and thrive!

You can meet Manisha, Ayushma and some of the other people you are helping in Nepal by reading this story.

Debbie Drew and her post holiday blues

by

August 2017

Dear friends

We returned from holiday last week and I must admit to the post-holiday blues.  Although we live comfortably in Nepal, adjusting again to power cuts, monsoon rains, 90% humidity, water deliveries when our water runs out, soaking our fruit and salad in iodine solution to clean it, putting loo roll in a bin rather than down the loo, takes a few days.

With nervous excitement, Rebekah, Sam, Tabea and Josh started back at school on Tuesday (years 10, 8, 4, 6).  It’s their school (KISC) we would particularly ask you to pray for this month. 

THIS IS JUST THE START OF DEBBIE AND CHRIS DREW’S LATEST UPDATE… YOU CAN READ MORE BY FOLLOWING THE LINK BELOW.

New Wine – how about going there in 2018

by

Last  Sunday the BBC’s Songs of Praise came from the New Wine event that Chris Puckrin and the Thompson family have just returned from.

Richard Thompson says “it would be ace if more folk from Moortown could come together for this, and as this year was fully booked up it’s worth booking for next summer’s event as soon as places are available in September.

If you are interested I’m sure Richard, Kathryn or Chris will be more than happy to give you more information.

Spread a little sunshine

by

Are you going away on holiday this summer? If you are then why not share a special memory with us by emailing your favourite holiday snaps to mbcholidaypics@gmail.com

As they come in we’ll pop the images  into a special on line gallery on the MBC website. So what ever you have lined up, be it a luxury cruise round the Caribbean, a heart pumping hike around the Lake District or a day trip to Brid don’t forget to take a camera or a phone and share your experiences.

And remember this isn’t a competition. In fact think of it more as sending a postcard to a friend. So anything goes… from evocative sunsets and dramatic seascapes to embarrassing selfies.
