PRAYING FOR
edicated supporters Brenda and Gordon Wilkinson have found the right ingredients for a tasty Tearfund earner. Their book, Recipes for disaster... relief and development, has raised £25,000 for our work since it was launched almost five years ago. It features 42 recipes from 25 countries and gives readers information about how Tearfund is working with partners and local churches to bring spiritual and material transformation in each location. More than 4,000 copies of the book have been snapped up, with orders from across Europe and the US. The book is the latest in a long series of fundraising exploits for Tearfund by the Wilkinsons. Philippa Peck, Tearfund’s Director of Marketing and Fundraising, said, ‘We’re very grateful for Brenda and Gordon’s incredible support. Since 1984, they have raised nearly £50,000 for Tearfund, which has fed and supported many families across the world.’ To order your copy of Recipes for disaster, visit www.recipesfordisaster.org
