The very first gift of stamps was received forty-two years ago, on the 23rd November 1965, when my wife collected a bag of envelopes from Johnson & Tidsall, a firm of accountants here in Derby.         They are still saving their stamps for us.         

575 Gifts of stamps received in 2008

 from 274 different sources

plus many anonymous gifts

Sold over 8 million stamps

Many thanks for everyone's help, without your time and efforts over the years over a third of a million pounds would have never been raised!

A special warm welcome to all our new supporters from World Outreach. Many thanks to Mike Cross and his team for sending out several thousand letters to their supporters advising them of the changes and requesting them now to send their stamps to us. May this addition bring many stamps and release new funds for Mission organisations. Praise God.

One Hundred and Fifty new supporters of World Outreach have joined us since World Outreach stopped collecting stamps themselves and have given publicity to our address.  

Another christian mission "Crusaders" have stopped collecting stamps for their work, and have asked their supporters to send their stamps to "Stamps for Evangelism". So far this has added Nineteen new supporters to this work.

 Stamps have arrived from the following countries during 2008

Australia, Belgium, Canada, Cyprus, England, Gernany, Northern Ireland, Singapore, Scotland, South Africa, U.S.A. & Wales.
