With the downturn in the economic situation, churches and missions are finding their budgets cut. Finding the finances for Horizon of Hope in these circumstances is a test of our faith. Many of our supporters are looking for innovative ways to raise funds. Oasis Church of God in Luxembourg runs a yearly catering stall in one of the city of Luxembourg’s markets. Approx 25 people spend weeks beforehand buying in supplies, preparing and baking.
On the day, helpers turn out early, 6am to erect the tents needed for the food bars and coffee tents. 
This year, despite predicted heavy rain, the day was fine but cold. John and Pauline England and Petry Groza flew in from Romania to man the cafe and to be available to promote Horizon of Hope by chatting with customers and providing information materials.
At the end of a busy tiring day, the church and its work had been made more visible to the population and had raised Euro 3,000 towards the building project. Our thanks to all for the hard work, practical support and fellowship as we worked together.
In previous years we have had people do sponsored walks, make and sell jewellery, hold cake stalls, knit baby clothes and sell unwanted produce or used goods. We would be interested to hear of your efforts on our behalf. Please feel free to write to us at mail@horizonofhope.ro.
