Tearfund Australia have launched the Global Hope Report, which recognises that individuals are more likely to have hope for themselves, their community and the world if they have faith in God. It also recognises that taking action to make a difference in our community or world increases our sense of hope, as well as helping others who are struggling.
"As Christians, we are empowered in Christ to step out in faith, hope and love to bring transformation in the face of overwhelming challenges."
Tearfund Australia
Tearfund is joining with Micah Australia and others to call on our leaders to act now to build a safer world for all.
Could you use a provided template to email your local member to ask them to increase Australia's international aid from its current level of 0.68% to 1% of Gross National Product in order to increase the welfare of our global neighbours?
If you are willing to help in this way please complete this template on the Tearfund website.
Please add your prayer to your email and also pray for a safer world for all.
Further, Tearfund is asking for 'Hope for Afghanistan' donations to help their partner organisation in Afghanistan, where life is still extremely difficult under Taliban rule. For more information and if you can help see the Tearfund website.
