1. Middle East Crisis Appeal - Baptist World Aid
Tax Deductible
Our hearts ache as we watch the terror and violence unfolding in the Middle East. With our Baptist family across the world, we mourn the catastrophic loss of life and look to our God of peace who is always at work through his people.
Around 1.1 million people in Gaza are experiencing catastrophic food insecurity, as families have exhausted their food and water supplies. Over 1.7 million people are displaced and in desperate need of safety and urgent humanitarian support. Over 15,000 children have been killed, and many are injured or severely malnourished from lack of food.
Your donation will enable BWA’s Christian Partners to provide urgent assistance to civilians affected by this conflict.
Your gifts will help deliver much-needed medicines, emergency food packages and other essential supplies as well as medical and other services to displaced families in need.

2. Stand with RUTH (Refugees Undergoing Trauma and Hardship) - Philoi Global
Tax Deductible
“Join us as we stand with the ‘Ruths’ of our time.”
In a world where the displacement crisis only continues to increase in urgency, single women and children are among the most vulnerable. Navigating the complexities of displacement, they face discrimination, ostracisation, and traumatic events.
Over and over again, Philoi encounters stories of women reminiscent of Ruth in the Bible. Ruth is known for her resilience, faithfulness, and courage – all of which are particularly poignant in light of her experience as a refugee without male support. It is also particularly remarkable that many female Christian converts rename themselves ‘Ruth.’
The ‘Ruths’ Philoi partner with are often widowed or divorced, fleeing from abusive marriages and facing conflict and persecution. They are seeking safety, refuge, and a chance to rebuild their lives. They remain hopeful, resilient, and incredibly courageous.
As we contemplate Ruth’s story in the Bible, we are reminded of the urgent need to care for some of the most vulnerable in the world – women and children who are currently experiencing displacement.

3. Bibles for South Sudan - African Enterprise
Non Tax Deductible
African Enterprise was founded over 60 years ago with the vision “To evangelise the cities of Africa through Word and Deed in partnership with the Church.” With a focus on reaching every strata of society with the Gospel, it runs 9 to 12 city-wide missions each year.
Every year for the past 10 years AE has partnered with local church leaders to share the gospel and bring healing to the city of Juba, the capital of South Sudan.
This year’s mission, from 27 October to 3 November, will involve a comprehensive school outreach in 20 schools, reaching university students, the military and the police force with the gospel. In hospitals, teams will minister to the sick, providing comfort and hope. A prison ministry will extend the message of redemption to inmates. Market evangelism will bring the good news directly to the heart of the community.
Bibles are needed for those who respond in faith to the message and your gifts will go towards providing the Word in local languages.
