Our Promise

Introduction Welcome to the latest edition of Transform Europe Network’s Essential Gifts catalogue. We offer a choice of more than 25 gifts across our three designated themes: Compassion, Sustainability and Education.

TEN continues to work in 12 countries, mostly in Eastern Europe, with more than 60 national partners who are proclaiming the gospel of Jesus Christ and meeting needs, often in areas with high levels of poverty and unemployment.

Buying an Essential Gift on behalf of someone special to you, whether for Christmas, a birthday or special anniversary, will be a blessing to your friend and for those who will directly benefit from your generosity.

Thank you for your support.

HOW IT WORKS

1. Choose your Gift or Bundle.

As good stewards of the funds we receive from the Essential Gifts catalogue, we are committed to sending as much as possible to the point of need.

At least 85 pence in every pound will be used on this important initiative. The small amount TEN takes for its running costs ensures this project is sustainable.

We are also committed to ensuring every Essential Gift is wanted and the local need is met with the most appropriate gift. So, we require flexibility for our partners to be able to meet the most urgent need. Allowing this flexibility means we cannot guarantee the partner will provide the actual gift you purchase, but it will be an item within the same category. There are three categories: Compassion, Sustainability and Education.

Thank you for supporting our partners across Europe by purchasing Essential Gifts from this catalogue.

2. Place your order online, by post or by phone, (see page 15).

3. Receive a gift card to pass on to your friend or family member.

THANK YOU Shoes for Serbia Danijel is a church leader in Lebane, Serbia. He identified a need for children in his community from poor families who did not have adequate footwear.

Through the Essential Gifts Catalogue, he was able to buy 25 pairs of good shoes for the children. As can be seen in the photos, the children were very happy to receive this practical expression of God’s love.

Your most popular gift Most supporters find it hard to choose a preferred gift from our selection of over 25 choices. However, we thought you would like to know that your most popular gift by far is ‘Socks, Shoes or Wellington Boots’.

Footwear remains our leading best seller.

Thanks to your generosity, scores of children across Eastern European nations are thrilled to receive their pair of new footwear and the joy is renewed each day as they walk to school and play together outside.

Thank you for choosing your Essential Gift. Every thoughtful choice counts and is appreciated by our partners who distribute the gifts to those in most need.
