Tearfund Inspire trips

‘It has given me a far bigger picture of the work of God in the world.’

Have you ever considered going overseas and seeing for yourself how God is using local churches to transform poor communities?

Tearfund Together Inspire trips give you a unique opportunity to see first-hand a range of Tearfund-supported projects that are transforming people’s lives.

Going on an Inspire trip is a great way to deepen your understanding of integral mission and learn how God is using his church to bring practical help and spiritual hope.

One participant said on their return, ‘Wow, what a trip...  just looking at parts of the video this evening brings back incredible memories of love and humility in action. My feet haven’t touched the ground since I got back.’

While another commented, ‘I found it wonderful to glimpse the work of the partners, hear first-hand of their experiences and problems and to meet and talk to those who benefit.’

Volunteers from Northern Ireland visit a prison in Liberia.

We’re confident that you’ll be inspired by what you see and want to share your experiences with others when you get home. We’ll help you reflect on what you’ve learnt and give you some advice about how to share your stories.

During your time overseas, you'll have the opportunity for times of fellowship, including prayer and Bible study, with other Christians from your region.

See below for information about forthcoming trips.

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