Events coming up 

Tearfund Inspire trip to Egypt - March 2010

 

This Inspire trip will provide a fantastic opportunity to see Tearfund’s vision in action, and is for volunteers from England and Wales.

 

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. There will be a chance for you to do some practical work with our partners. 


You will also have the opportunity to discuss your experiences and pray with others on the tour. 

 

And Tearfund will equip you to share those stories with churches back home, and to make the most of your experiences.

 

Date: 1 - 14 March 2010 (depending on flights – exact dates to be confirmed)
Price: In the range of £750-£900 + flights (final costing will be available nearer the time of the tour)
Orientation: Saturday 30 January 2010
Reunion: Saturday 3 April 2010
