On Saturday our Where in the World is Hope events kicked off in Melbourne. It was so encouraging to gather together in hope, hearing from our guest speaker Kennedy Dhanabalan about the incredible work happening in Afghanistan, and previewing the soon-to-be released Global Hope Report. Tomorrow night (Tues 27/8) we take the event to Brisbane, followed by Canberra (Thurs 29/8), Sydney (Mon 2/9) and Perth (Tues 3/9). It's not too late to join us.

We are Tearfund Australia (formerly TEAR Australia). We're working in partnership to end poverty.
About us
Working in partnership to end poverty. Tearfund Australia is a Christian development, relief and advocacy organisation responding to global poverty and injustice. Inspired by Jesus' call to love our neighbours, we work in partnership with Christians organisations around the world and with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander organisations in Australia. We believe that everyone should have a chance to reach their God-given potential. By addressing the causes of poverty, we work through our partners to restore hope and release more of God's love in practical ways. We are probably best known for our Useful Gifts Catalogue, with a range of gifts including chickens, education and safe water that are especially popular at Christmas. Each gift supports Tearfund and our Christian partners as we work towards a more just and compassionate world.

Afghanistan is facing one of the world's worst humanitarian crises. The nation has endured decades of conflict, political upheaval, severe economic decline and recurrent extreme climate shocks, and it is estimated that 58% of the population will require humanitarian assistance this year. Please join us in praying for Afghanistan: 🙏🏼 Most recently, hundreds of lives have been lost to flash flooding. Pray that support would reach the most vulnerable in communities affected by the recent floods, as well as those still grieving and recovering from earlier disasters. 🙏🏼 Pray that doors would open for our partners' work in communities. Pray for the provision of funding needed to resource this work. 🙏🏼 Pray for the staff of Tearfund’s partners – for their protection, encouragement and perseverance despite the hardship and uncertainty they face for their own families. 🙏🏼 For renewed hope for those who are despondent about the future of their country and for their families.

Last week, Ben Howes from Tearfund and 19 key stakeholders from Micah Australia's Pacific Australian Emerging Leaders Network (PAELN) gathered in Fiji for a transformative co-design trip. Hear about his experience 👇🏼 "The Fiji Co-Design Trip was a deeply transformative, intercultural experience - we gathered to discover, dream and design for the future of the PAEL initiative as a Pacific family! We created comprehensive next steps & a shared vision of what the network can catalyse through regional advocacy and impact. Finally, we left feeling humbled and inspired by communities like Togoru village, displaying resilience and adaptation in the face of severe climate change." Ben Howes.
