A new church resource, focusing on HIV work in Mozambique, will be available and we will also have a huge Tearcraft shop so you can stock up on Christmas gifts.
We will also launch a brand-new integral mission resource for churches keen to reach out to their communities - using the methods tried and tested by our partners.
Please invite anyone whom you think might be interested in coming along.
Tearfund Prayer Meetings in Long Eaton
On Wednesday 21 May we held a prayer evening focusing on fairtrade and justice issues, and the latest situation in Myanmar and Zimbabwe.
This event was at Insight Christian Bookshop in Long Eaton, Nottingham - which is now under the ownership of Eddie Mason, who’s part of Tearfund Together in the East Midlands.
We hope to make such prayer meetings a regular occurrence, the next one is to be held in September – we will let you know when the date has been decided.
Tearfund Inspire trip to Egypt - March 2009
This is a joint trip for volunteers from England and Wales.
This Inspire trip will provide a fantastic opportunity to see Tearfund’s vision in action.
We hope to visit two Tearfund partners in Cairo to see how God is using them to bring transformation to the poorest and most marginalised.
In addition to visiting the partners, there will be a chance for you to do some practical work with them.
You will also have the opportunity to discuss what you experience and pray with others on the tour.
And Tearfund will help equip you to share those stories with churches back home, and to make the most of your experiences in Egypt.
Date: 2 - 15 March 2009 (depending on flights – exact dates to be confirmed)
Price: In the range of £1,200 - £1,350 (final costing will be available nearer the time of the tour)
Orientation: Saturday 31 January
Reunion: Saturday 4 April
