COVID-19 impact on the work of TEN
Emergency funds have already been sent to almost half of our partners to assist with the distribution of food parcels to the poor and to help towards the shortfall in church funding due to the cancellation of meetings and outreach events. We are immensely grateful to our generous supporters, UK partner churches and trust funds who together, within the last four weeks, have donated more than £18,000 to our COVID-19 Relief Fund. We will continue to assess the special needs of our partners and plan to allocate additional funds during the current period of lockdown and curfews in place across Eastern Europe.

If so this update provides a helpful overview country by country. The summary is, that it is a mixed picture. The countries have very vulnerable health services and economies so please pray for wisdom for their leaders. balkaninsight.com/2020/05/21/balkans-not-ready-to-declare-victory-over-covid-19/
Also important to say, that whilst there may be some easing of lockdown, the Roma (and there is about 10 million of them in the region) and other people on the margins will continue to suffer from not getting the most basic needs of food and hygiene supplies as they are unable to earn a living.

Transforming lives requires three essential elements: prayer, hard work and money. Your financial gift is the vital ingredient to bring change to those you care about. To make an online donation to Tr...Yesterday, we were able to get together with partners, supporters, volunteers and trustees to pray together. I can't tell you enough about how privileged we feel to be able to do this.
Our partner, Dusan Beredi (Bera), lead us in a time of devotion and to thinking about how even in these turbulent times, God is still in control. He has plans for our world that coronavirus is powerless to stop. Our views may be limited but God sees and holds together the bigger picture!
Absolutely wonderful to bring together our partners from seven different nations and supporters to pray this morning. It was fantastic to hear from Dusan Beredji (Bera) from Protestantska Hrišćanska Zajednica - Novi Sad Otvorena Grupa in Serbia. Thanks to all who joined us and if you want to connect next time please keep an eye on our various media streams! Thank you for your support and your prayers.

Good news indeed!
Prime Minister Boris Johnson has written to Christian worship leader Tim Hughes to thank him for organising 'The UK Blessing' music video released last week.

In a personal letter to Tim Hughes, the Prime Minister awarded him his daily Points of Light Award - a prize which has been running since 2014 to recognise individuals who have had a positive impact on society.
Boris Johnson said: "At a time when our churches are closed, I am filled with admiration to hear how you have used the power of music to bring together Christians of all denominations from across our United Kingdom.
"Your sensational singing masterpiece 'The UK Blessing' is truly uplifting and has touched millions around the world with its message of hope and its beauty.
"As we continue to protect our NHS and save lives, I know you are also leading efforts through your own church to support those in need in Birmingham and to befriend those who are feeling lonely or isolated at this time.
"So on behalf of the whole country, I just want to say a big thank you for all that you do."
Reacting to the Prime Minister's announcement, Tim said: "It's a great honour to receive this award, which I receive on behalf of the amazing team my wife Rachel and I work with at Gas Street Church in Birmingham. Alongside everything we are doing in delivering food packages and connecting with those who are vulnerable and isolated, it was wonderful to be a small part of the song 'The UK Blessing.' To see over 65 churches, representing hundreds of others from around the UK, joining together as one to sing this amazing message, that God is for us and with us, was very special."
