our vision

Tearfund has a dream of a world where poverty is no more. We’re a Christian relief and development agency, so we provide emergency relief in disaster situations, and do all kinds of work in and with the world’s poorest communities to bring longer term physical and spiritual transformation. We passionately believe that the local church is the hope of the world, so we’re pursuing an ambitious ten-year vision to see a global network of 100,000 local churches bringing release to 50 million people living in poverty.

 
the call to students 

Our dream is of a world that works the way God intended it to, full of peace and justice, equality and hope. What’s more, it’s about a church that operates the way Jesus taught it to, living and breathing to make that dream a reality. And that comes down to you and me, being the followers Jesus calls us to be, pursuing a radical vision of discipleship that changes the world, bit by bit, life by life.

 

Are you up for it?! We want to inspire and challenge you to pray, campaign, fundraise and make positive lifestyle choices to bring hope of a brighter future to people living in poverty. We also want you to grab your mates and pass the message on! We have stacks of resources available that will engage you with the real issues and equip you to make a difference. For starters, why not get our regular Uncovered emails, which bring our latest news and ideas for taking action straight to your inbox every month.  Click here to sign up!
