If during these difficult times you are looking for a novel way to celebrate your birthday how about turning things on their head and GIVING a gift.
The BMS Birthday Scheme is just one of BMS World Mission’s many fundraising platforms, and your birthday present to them will go directly to supporting vital health and infrastructure ministries across the world.
Active in 35 different countries, including some which for security reason cannot even be named, the work BMS World Mission (formally the Baptist Missionary Society) does ranges from digging bore holes and building bridges to supporting doctors, nurses and speech therapists.
To sign up to the Birthday Scheme all you need do is email your contact details to mbcnewspics@gmail.com and we will pass them through to Roger Robson who is MBC’s Mission’s co-ordinator. Then on your birthday you will receive a greetings card, an up to date News Bulletin and an envelope in which to return your donation.
You can find out more about the Birthday Scheme and indeed about all the other activities that BMS World Mission is engaged in by clicking HERE but to give just three examples of how your birthday present could change lives here in black and white is what you see in the extract (above, right) from the 2020 bulletin.
£20 can support a Speech and Language therapist working with 7 year old Lois Ovenden in Gulu, Uganda for two days.
£29 can support a nurse at Guinebor II hospital in Chad for three days.
And £73 can support a BMS engineer like Tim Darby from Beckenham for one day on his project to provide clean water to rural communities in Uganda.
THANK YOU AND WHENEVER IT FALLS HAPPY BIRTHDAY
