Matched May Donation – Hope Health Action

Dear Ian,

I hope this email finds you very well.

I just wanted to reach out to personally thank you and everyone at Coney Hill for your incredibly kind donation to our Matched May campaign last month. As you may have already heard, the campaign raised over £90,000 in donations – meaning a total of £180,000 including match funds. We give thanks for this incredible answer to prayer and God’s amazing generosity. It’s fair to say we are totally overwhelmed with this figure, which is triple what we initially set out to raise, and will have a real impact on what we’re able to achieve this year and beyond, ultimately enabling us to demonstrate Christ’s love to more people than we could have dreamed of.

A huge thank you also for hosting Carwyn as part of Matched May. As always, it was such a blessing for us to be able to connect with the congregation and share about our work – and we hope it gave you all some encouragement about the real, tangible impact that your prayers and support are making possible.

Thanks to the match funds on offer throughout May, your generous donation was doubled – meaning the £2,000 from Coney Hill became £4,000. For context, that’s enough to produce 30 prosthetic limbs, which are custom-made at our workshop in Bidibidi, the largest refugee settlement in Uganda; fund seeds and tools for 200 refugee families, providing them with a sustainable source of food and income; or pay for the salary of a carer at our respite home for children with disabilities in Haiti for two and a half years. Your gift really will go a long way towards sharing God’s love and supporting people in desperate need.

I hope you’ll share this wonderful news and our immense gratitude with your congregation, and that they’ll be encouraged by the incredible impact of their prayers and support.

If you have any questions at all about our work or how your church’s donation will be used, please don’t hesitate to reach out – I’d be delighted to chat!

In the meantime, if you and/or your congregation would like some more regular guidance on how to support HHA through prayer, I’d encourage you to join our ‘Mountain Movers’ newsletter, through which we send monthly emails with prayer requests and praises from our teams around the world.

All the very best,
