Mission Focus for May 2025
Centre of Hope - God's love in action
Introduction
This month's Mission Focus is Centre of Hope - GLIA, a UK-based Christian charity that raises funds to support a community centre in Dorohoi, Romania that provides food, social services, a meeting place with shower facilities and educational support to the disadvantaged residents of the town and neighbouring villages.
Brief update
Peter Butcher (CoH- GLIA founder) is still recovering from his cancer treatment (mainly suffering from tiredness) and he is now undergoing tests for breathlessness. In addition, he is still coming to terms with the passing of his wife and co-founder, Lesley, who sadly passed away in February after suffering for several years with dementia. The outlook for the charity remains uncertain with decreasing donations being received and relatively high inflation in Romania. We have reached the point where the average monthly income is less than the average monthly expenses. Please pray for God to reveal His will for the future of the work in Dorohoi to the trustees. Another situation that requires prayer is that now Russian military action has intensified in Southern Ukraine, the Centre has been contacted by a charity that works in the area, warning that they may need to send people to the Centre if they need to flee their homes.
