Tearfund have written to thank us for the donation of £300 towards the
Philippines Appeal. They will use the money to support two of their
partners in providing vital aid to those who need it most. Tearfund
partner Medair is working in Leyte, providing families with emergency
shelter kits of tarpaulins, iron roofing sheets and ropes. They are also
distributing blankets, bedding, kitchen utensils and hygiene and
sanitation kits. They will be supporting rural health facilities which have
been damaged, and restoring vital supply chains of medical equipment.
Tearfund partner World Renew is distributing emergency food items in
Ilo-ilo, Leyte and Samar, including rice, milk, coffee and sugar, as well as
blankets & sleeping mats. They are also providing clean water for 4000
families. Tearfund have asked us to remember them, their partners, and
all aid agencies in our prayers, as they try to help the survivors of the
hurricane, who will need support for many months to come.
We would like local
businesses and groups to
advertise in this
magazine.
While providing publicity for the
advertiser, the income would
support the local church in
South Barrow.
Articles for March’s
Team Talk should be
forwarded to Revd. Gary
Cregeen by 19th
February at the latest.
At the back of each Team church
are letters for would-be
advertisers, along with details of
cost.
The annual subscription for
Team Talk is only £5 for the year
(if posted, please add £5).

payable to ‘St George with St
Luke PCC’ and forwarded to
