Message from the Chair
Preparation Days in full swing.
If you are a regular, I am sure that you have booked your place already. But if you’ve not been to one before, why not try it this year? You don’t have to be invited but it is helpful if you book a place so that the organiser has some idea how many coffee cups to put out! Anyone who is interested may attend a Preparation Day; it isn’t limited to one per branch: the more the merrier!

The season of grant updates continues...
Today we hear from Hope for Justice hopeforjustice.org/ about their Lighthouse Assessment Centre in Phnom Penh – Cambodia.
At the Lighthouse Assessment Centre, young girls who have been victims of sex or labour trafficking are housed for a critical eight-week stabilisation period directly after rescue. Here, they receive thorough medical, dental and psychological assessments. Family and medical assessments also take place in order to make the appropriate referrals into long-term programmes or reintegration into their communities. This restorative programme is designed to take girls from being victims to survivors to empowered world-changers.
"We are extremely grateful for the Women’s World Day of Prayer grant. Thank you again for your support, which is literally giving young girls back their freedom and a hope for the future."

What a difference a wheelchair makes!
This is Mary, a young woman from Magoye in Zambia. She is a young woman who, at the age of 28, had just completed a lab technician's course and was looking forward to a bright future which would enable her to support not only herself but her extended family as well. Unfortunately she lost the use of both legs and one arm after a mystery illness four months ago. She travelled a gruelling 37km by public transport to receive her wheelchair from Help Health International, funded by a grant from World Day of Prayer from EWNI. Also pictured are members of the charity with another wheelchair recipient. Lovely to see the World Day of Prayer offering being used to help those in need.

As Christians, we believe that God doesn’t just promise life, but life in all of its fullness. We want all of God’s created Kingdom not just to survive, but to thrive.
But, in the threat of a climate crisis, what will it take to make this happen?

Lovely update from Mission India about a WDP EWNI grant to their adult literacy project: missionindia.org.uk/adult-literacy-classes/
'It has been a great success and 125 adults of the 150 enrolled have graduated and already on average each adult is seeing a wage increase of 47% or £1.42 more per day thanks to the Adult Literacy programme. But most importantly 54 of the learners gave their life to Christ and they have formed into 2 small churches which will now carry on growing and reaching out to the villagers.'
Thank you to everyone who made this possible,
