At its Council last year the EBF established a new commission, the Commission on Migration, to more effectively assist our member bodies in their ministry for migrants, refugees and asylum seekers. We are delighted that BMS World Mission wishes to support this strategic development and is giving financial support for the EBF to employ a part-time Coordinator on Migration Issues. We invite you to be part of the search process.
During the season of Advent in a year that has been very challenging for all of us, the EBF suggested that churches might like to invite preachers from other countries to share the Word of God with them online.
Earlier in the year, EBF partners came together in conjunction with the Baptist Forum for Aid and Development (BFAD) to support COVID-19 relief efforts for the most vulnerable across the EBF region, specifically in Lebanon, Greece, and Turkey. Since then, each of these three contexts have experienced additional tragedy on top of the pandemic.
