BibleLands continued to be out and about across the UK this summer. We visited Spring Harvest for the first time in May and were at New Wine in July and Greenbelt in August.

All three events provide great opportunities to meet existing supporters, as well as reaching out to potential supporters, particularly the young.

We are very grateful to our team of supporters who were able to help at these events. Without your support, we could not continue to spread the word about our vital work.

Our fifth Annual celebration of BibleLands work took place in churches across the UK on 6 July.

Our focus this year was on the work of our Overseas Partners – Building Community in Egypt.

We would like to know all about what you got up to – if you have any stories then please contact emma.boucher@biblelands.org.uk.
