Election fever

We don’t know exactly when the next general election will be. But it has to happen within the next 12 months, and it’s likely to be dominated by discussions about the economic crisis.

Whenever the election is called, Tearfund, along with many other organisations, will be working to make sure that all candidates and parties don’t forget to talk about and act upon the impact that the economic crisis is having on the poorest people and the environment they rely on.

Keep an eye on the website or sign up for Global Action e-mails to find out the latest on what we have planned. In the meantime, spend some time praying for those who lead us.

Pray for all politicians in Europe and the UK to govern with wisdom and diligence. Pray that more Christians would go into politics.

Pray for the UK general election. Pray that the needs of the poorest communities served by Tearfund’s local church partners won’t be forgotten.

We are Christians passionate about the local church bringing justice and transforming lives - overcoming global poverty.
So our ten-year vision is to see 50 million people released from material and spiritual poverty through a worldwide network of 100,000 local churches.
