It was spending time with the Girlas that changed Chris. He had travelled to Moldova last October with MWB’s Supporter Tour specifically to meet the family he supported. As a keen bee-keeper, Chris wanted to promote bee-keeping in Moldova while at the same time help a family to become self-sufficient. The Girlas, a small family of a widow with her two children, were benefitting from Chris’ passion.

Mrs Girla’s son Sandu is a willowy lad of 16 years and few words. With his mother and sister he met Chris outside the Girla home in the warm October sunshine. Sandu responded to Chris’ questions about his new bee-keeping vocation.

Dreaming of beesBees were a family dream. They had always wanted to eat their own honey and sell some to make an income. But when Mrs Girla’s husband died, the dream went with him. She carried on as a teacher and raised her two children alone. Until her doctor diagnosed she had lung cancer with only four weeks left to live. But that was five years ago.

A day in the life of...a supporter on tour

Mission Without Borders brings hope to impoverished people and communities in Eastern Europe, through spiritual, educational, emotional and material support. We are a Christian organisation. We support the elderly, families and children to move out of poverty towards becoming self-sufficient.

This Newsletter looks back at MWB’s roots. A single torn-out Bible page was all a pastor in the USSR had to preach from for seventeen years. When he showed this to MWB’s founders, they took up his challenge to ‘put Bibles into Eastern European’s empty hands to reach our own people’. MWB then smuggled Bibles until the collapse of the Iron Curtain. We’re still giving away Bibles. Will you help?

Looking forward, Mothering Sunday is 18 March 2012. Why not give an alternative gift of a Mother-care parcel to a mother, or in memory of a mother you know?

This spring we launch our new Seeds of Hope appeal. Could you ask your church, local school or community group to get involved to help families plant their way to a better future? We need you to use the free resources and fundraise like never before!

For thinking longer-term, why not join our next Supporters Tour? Read about supporters visiting Moldova last autumn to inspire you. And to help us plan ahead, do, please complete our questionnaire. Your comments on your MWB Newsletter are invaluable for planning future editions.

Above all, for your past, present and future involvement with MWB: THANK YOU!

Looking back, forward, and to the future...

‘ I am changed by my experience and inspired to be more than I am by people who have nothing other than their hopes, their hospitality, their hard work and their dignity.’

A day in the life of...a supporter on tour

Today, with Mrs Girla’s good health, the family is determined to move forward. Chris’ support came at just the right time: Sandu had finished school but, like many others, could not find work. MWB’s co-ordinator thought Sandu was perfect for mentoring in a farming activity. That was the very day that Chris offered his donation for bee hives. Funds, bees and the Girlas all buzzed into place, and Sandu is learning new skills quickly.

In only a few months, Sandu has established eight colonies of bees. He keeps them on his uncle’s farm nearby. For collecting their honey Sandu uses a

hand-spun extractor and pours the golden liquid into glass jars. He hopes to sell it at local and regional markets next year.

Visiting beesWanting to see the bees, Chris followed Sandu down a dirt track and through a farmyard. Past crumbling mud huts, scrabbling dogs, and a herd of sheep and goats running before their shepherd, they came to the apiary in a copse of saplings.

Chris dutifully put on his bee suit to defend himself against stings. But to his amazement, Sandu casually strolled between his hives unprotected. Sandu explained that he never wore much protection for he had got used to being stung and by now the bees knew him. What a network: Half a million furry flying friends!

On leaving the Girlas, Chris realised how honoured he was to be able to give into their lives. It had been more than just a visit. For Chris there was a bigger impact: ‘I was given life by those who struggled to live – I am humbled. God is good.’ Deuteronomy 26

Rooted in giving BiblesA history of smuggling Bibles behind the Iron Curtain is the root of MWB’s present passion for sharing God’s Word. While today Phil Shrimpton is a MWB trustee, his past is wrapped up with those secret trips to the Soviet Union.

‘Have you any guns, drugs, pornography or Bibles?’ the armed guards asked at each border crossing to Ukraine, Poland, Hungary, Czechoslovakia and Romania. Responding with ‘take a look’ and a silent prayer for God’s protection, Phil and other MWB couriers waited during the search of their lorries. Relying on God, and the carpenters’ skill at building hidden compartments, the couriers waited to hear those wonderful words ‘drive on’. Smuggling Bibles was risky business. They committed each journey to God.

‘Looking back, one can see how often God intervened to bring his plans to fruition.’

When Phil joined MWB during the Cold War, it was called Underground Evangelism and ministered to pastors living under the atheism and persecution of Lenin’s ‘down with God’. After being commended for its support at the Armenian earthquake (1988), MWB made a formal request to transport Bibles and relief goods behind the Iron Curtain. ‘What presumption!’ recalls Phil, ‘but our God is able and permission was given to journey to Kiev, capital of Ukraine.’ Phil remembers that journey:

Phil and the main courier travelled from MWB’s ‘secret supply base’, in Germany, in one of two lorries carrying 20 tonnes of Bibles and relief goods. Guards expressed surprise, sometimes anger, that MWB had permission to transport such literature across their borders. One even phoned HQ to check if the permit really was genuine. On confirmation, he returned it with a scowl and the team continued their journey praising God.

‘Shut up. Mind your own business and get on with the job!’ The courier’s sharp words kept Phil focused while flashing lights from a Soviet police car broke the surrounding gloom and pouring rain. Phil and two others were in the middle of lifting Bibles off their lorry to a nearby car to deliver to Christians hungry for the Word of God. But the police kept their steamed-up window closed against the rain and drove off, allowing the Bible couriers to finish their unloading.

‘ My entire life changed when I started reading the Bible.’ Alla, 50, Ukraine

‘ This gift is my life manual.’ Martin, 15, Bulgaria

Page 5: MWB UK Newsletter Spring 2012

Arriving in Kiev, the couriers had no map to find their contacts’ location. So Phil gave the address to a taxi driver, who led the lorries of Bibles through Kiev’s narrow streets. The unusual convoy eventually reached a group of people huddled against the cold, wrapped up in fur coats and hats. This band of Christians had been waiting a week for the Bibles. Some had travelled for days from Siberia.

These dear brothers and sisters gave the couriers a tremendous welcome. But it was only after a long wait, for the customs official’s examination, that unloading was permitted. The group jumped to action: Flinging open the lorry doors, everyone carried their load of Bibles to a little window nearby and then down to a basement.

Inside was a hive of activity with people labelling up all the Bibles and boxes with names of towns and villages. Once named, others started taking them outside again. As soon as Bibles were given a location, a ‘carrier’ had to pick them up and go. It was too dangerous to leave the Bibles where they were.

One man told Phil he had been in prison twice for possessing a Bible and worshipping God. Each time the sentence was five years. All those involved with Underground Evangelism took big risks for God.

Today, Phil’s prayer for MWB is ‘that we will continue to look to the Lord for guidance, and His strength to undertake the task he’s given us to do.’

Will you join this calling to give away Bibles? Support us as we continue to distribute one million Bibles in Eastern Europe.

A huge thank you to everyone who donated to Operation Christmas Love. Because of your generosity we really were able to lavish love – and essential food basics – on thousands.

‘ Our day is so full when we have guests as we are always alone. It was a real surprise and a blessing to have you here! We have never received such nice blankets before and we are so grateful for them. God bless and reward the people who thought of us and offered us this food parcel and these nice blankets!’Ana (84) and Bucur (87), Romania

‘ Receiving this food lifted the heavy burden from my heart. I was so glad we were able to have a peaceful Christmas with a meal on the table. We were all so happy. Thank you to everyone who made sacrifices so that we could have joy in our home.’ Iliana (37), Bulgaria

‘ It is the best and most wonderful Christmas surprise we have ever had. It is the first time in our lives that we were really happy at Christmas.’ Iurii and Veronica, Moldova

‘ We have very little, so it is unthinkable for us to celebrate. We keep praying to God to provide us with our daily bread. This Christmas Love parcel came as a gift from God.’ Dhurata, Albania

‘ My school-mates sometimes have chocolate at school, but I have never had a whole chocolate bar for myself. It is delicious. I wish I had it every day!’Daiana (8), Romania

An alternative present to flowers or chocolates for your mum: Give a Mother-care parcel to support a new mother and baby through the biggest event of their lives.

Without her Mother-care parcel, Najada exclaims, she could not have managed for baby Anxhela: “Becoming pregnant did not bring me joy. I was stressed and worried about how to pay for everything. Then Mission Without Borders offered a Mother-care parcel – everything Anxhela needs to help her grow normally. Thank you.”

Mother-care parcels are vital for mothers giving birth in the countries where we work. While hospital services are free, the drugs and equipment are not. So when mothers leave hospital with their new babies, they also leave with a huge bill – on top of their concerns about meeting their new baby’s needs. Mission Without Borders provides pre- and post-natal care parcels containing clamp, medicines, syringes, glucose, nappies, powder and milk.

Save lives by giving a mother-care parcel for just £16.

“ Before, I struggled to feed the family. But now I have enough food for all my children.”

Nadiya’s family is just one of hundreds planting Seeds of Hope – and experiencing remarkable change.

For Nadiya, the difference the seeds have made is life-changing: instead of being constantly hungry, all her children are now well-fed. They are eating the fruits of Nadiya’s hard work.

Mission Without Borders gave Nadiya a box of Seeds of Hope stuffed full of locally purchased vegetable seeds.

Costing just £15 to pack and distribute, Mission Without Borders aims to deliver 1,817 Seeds of Hope boxes to families across Albania, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Moldova, Romania and Ukraine.

Why we sponsor families‘We can’t wait to visit again!’ say Tony and Sheila Pethen after travelling to Moldova last autumn.

They had just returned from their second trip in two years to meet their sponsored families. Sheila now tells us why she believes it is crucial to support families through MWB’s Family-to-Family sponsorship scheme.

‘When we first visited our sponsored families, in 2009, it was a great adventure and such a blessing to actually meet all those we sponsor. This made each family member come alive in a way that reading about them in reports never did.

On this second trip, we were eager to renew contact, as well as see how things had changed over two years. It was wonderful to meet them again. Whereas before we were all a little reserved – strangers whose language we did not know – this time, despite the language problem, it was like meeting old friends! We gave each other big hugs and were all much more at ease.

A teamWhat really delighted us was to see how much both families had achieved. Family-to-Family sponsorship really is team-work. While we sponsored special projects to enable the families to move forward, it was the families who got on with the hard work of putting these projects into place. For the Gudimas this was a greenhouse to start a little market gardening business; for the Morozans, an extractor supported their honey production. Seeing how much they were making the most of these initiatives encourages us to help further.

Personal relationsKnowing whom we were meeting made it more personal for us in our relationship with them. It also helped us in our preparations. We had a better idea of each family’s needs and children’s sizes. I was especially moved when Mrs Gudima exclaimed with delight as her boys tried on the padded jackets we had bought. She had been worrying how to get them coats for the winter! The Lord knows what people need and leads us into the privilege of providing!

As Eastern European countries shrink their orphanage provision (to satisfy EU requirements), it is even more important to us to sponsor families. With even a tiny bit of support families are more likely to stay together and children will grow up within the security of a home. We’re more committed than ever now!’

You’ll minister to those living in very different circumstances; be an encouragement; bring hope and in the process you too will be changed.

COuld yOu spOnsOr a faMily?

Through Family-to-Family sponsorship you will:

n Help the family to stay together.

n Offer real hope and the confidence to step out of poverty.

n Bring long-term change as the family moves into self-sufficiency.

The love and support of a sponsor will build up a family, encouraging them to take steps to becoming self-reliant.

“�Therefore,�encourage�one�another�and�build�each�other�up.” 1 Thessalonians 5:11
