URGENT ACTION REQUEST - UPDATE

Help us raise £150,000 to carry our work forward

‍‍

After just 30 days, we have seen an incredible £78,000 of gifts arriving online, by post, and by telephone in response to our Urgent Action Request.

It is so encouraging to know that our supporters are standing with us – thank you for your generosity. ‍It is a wonderful start towards our ambitious goal of £150,000 in 90 days by the end of September.

We are very grateful for your prayers and practical support – please share the message if you can, and if you wish to give you can do so easily below.

‍

When we launched this request in June we highlighted the significant funding challenges Lifewords is facing and the real possibility of having to shrink the organisation's operations.

Were this to happen, such levels of downsizing would greatly impact the effectiveness of a global ministry that has:

• Shared more than one billion Scripture resources
• Helped pioneer Bible engagement in over 250 previously unreached languages
• Produced resources in more than 1,000 languages over its history
• Continued to serve churches, communities and individuals in more than 50 core languages to this very day

A global ministry that supports people like Pastor Teófilo in Chile to be a constant presence in his community, in public spaces, in the homes of those he pastors. He shares:

Lifewords has been a constant in our ministry since the 1990s when I arrived in Chile as a Brazilian missionary. It is a privilege to be part of this global network of people seeking to bring life.
‍
What I value most is that Lifewords booklets are not mini-sermons or text-heavy articles - they carry the essential core of God's Word, presented with elegance and clarity.

‍

We believe God is opening the door to a new chapter to resource and partner with ‘lifebringers’ just like Pastor Teófilo .

Lifebringers is our framework for a growing movement of ordinary Christians sharing life, hope and faith in their everyday worlds. Through resources, stories, partnerships and creative projects, we want to equip a new generation of people to bring the Bible to life in their communities, workplaces and relationships.

Why Your Help Matters

Thank you for your support so far. We are seeking to raise a total of £150,000 by the end of September. This would enable us to:

• Sustain vital global Scripture-sharing work
• Support churches and individuals with our much-loved Bible resources in print, in person and online
• Reframe Lifewords as a movement of ‘Lifebringers’ for a new generation

‍
