Those of you who are familiar with a Baptist church might well be aware of the international work carried out by BMS World Mission. Many Baptist churches will support BMS workers overseas, or provide financial support for specific projects or regions through a special collection at Christmas or Harvest. BMS also have a Relief Appeal through which practical and essential help can be quickly provided to areas in the world experiencing disaster - making use of financial donations from across the world, but channelled through local workers and partner organisations who are already present in communities hit by crisis.
Last financial year BMS provided relief grants to places and situations that hit our national news here in the UK, such as Haiti and Pakistan. But also many grants were made to other situations that many of us knew nothing about. This short video shows how homes in Chincha, Peru were built with BMS relief grants following an earthquake.
BMS World Mission send their thanks to all those who make this kind of work possible through generous giving. To find out more visit
