Our latest appeals

The past year has included a huge amount of change for both BRF Ministries and other charities, as well as on an individual, national and worldwide level. There have been times of celebration and times when we must hold tight to a later part of the above psalm:

The Lord is a refuge for the oppressed, a stronghold in times of trouble. Those who know your name trust in you, for you, Lord, have never forsaken those who seek you.
Psalm 9:9–10

The 2025 Annual Appeal

For our annual appeal, Jules MacNaughton, head of fundraising, has been thinking much about the love and care which God has for all the people who receive and use the resources we create and for the work we do in His name.

‘May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit’ (Romans 15:13, NIV)

The 2024 appeal raised a truly wonderful £31,293 for which we are extremely grateful and we are praying that our 2025 Annual Appeal will exceed this. We understand the difficult financial times that we are living in but hope and pray that you are able to help us with a donation this year. As we have shared before, we need to raise £26,000 per week to fund our ministries and every single gift makes a big difference.

Collectively, our ministries reach and impact the lives of thousands of children and adults every year. With your help we can continue to deliver these remarkable ministries during what is a very challenging time for many of us. Every donation is appreciated and makes a huge difference in enabling us to fulfil our mission which is to inspire people of all ages to grow in Christian faith.

If you use social media, please consider supporting our appeal by donating, sharing our fundraiser and inviting your friends to donate!

Thank you from all of us at BRF Ministries.

Debbie Ducille’s Sponsored Walk

To celebrate the 10th anniversary of Anna Chaplaincy joining BRF Ministries, in September 2024 Ministry Lead Debbie Ducille embarked on a sponsored walk from the birthplace of Anna Chaplaincy in Alton, Hampshire, to the home of BRF Ministries in Abingdon, Oxfordshire, a distance of approximately 60 miles.

This was a fantastic event and celebration, and the total raised from the sponsored walk and anniversary donations was £8,682.

2024 Annual Appeal

The 2024 appeal raised a truly wonderful £31,293 for which we are extremely grateful. We understand the difficult financial times that we are living in, so we are especially grateful for the generosity of our donors. As we’ve shared before, we need to raise £26,000 per week to fund our ministries and every single gift makes a big difference.

A huge thank you to all our supporters who make it possible to continue our work at BRF Ministries. Please continue to pray for the fundraising team and all the activities that we undertake as a charity and each of our Ministries too.
