The Simple Truth

Here we are – just a collection of believers trying to join the dots between faith and action, between what we believe and how we live it out – and we’re feeling good. How come? Because something has changed. Something has shifted.

The way Tearfund lives and works has always evolved and adapted to suit the needs of the world it finds itself in. But there’s something about this latest development that has left us even more excited than ever.

So what’s the big idea? The answer is simple: you. And us. And them. Together. We believe that that we Christians are sitting on dynamite, that if we unite and work towards a common goal we could change the world for millions of people.

We’ve got a target and everything: to see 100,000 local churches working together over the next decade to see 50 million people set free from extreme poverty.

How it's going to work...

Below are five areas we’re focusing our work on that are crucial to seeing people lifted out of extreme poverty, so we can reach our vision. Click on them to find out more about the issues.
 
But as we unite to see this vision turn into reality, there’s something we cannot miss out. Our whole vision hinges on it. We will go nowhere without it. We need prayer!

We believe our vision is God inspired, but we’ll only get there with him leading us. We’re serious about prayer, so we’ve started a Global Poverty Prayer Chain, make sure you’re a part of it!
