Harvest Appeal

In our hurting world, churches are responding

When an earthquake measuring 7.8 struck Syria last year, Fadi, his wife and two young children fled, taking cover in a cemetery away from tall buildings. Across the region, more than 62,000 people were killed.

Then, Tearfund’s partner, the Evangelical Alliance Church, welcomed the family and gave them food, blankets, and medical care. They also helped them settle back home by having engineers check if there was any danger of their building collapsing.

Being salt and light

In many communities where Tearfund works, local churches prepare communities for when crises hit and then act as first responders to meet people’s urgent, basic needs. Afterwards, they also serve a critical role in helping communities rebuild. They are at the centre of restoring hope and helping shape a sustainable future.

With your help this harvest, Tearfund can strengthen local churches to be fully prepared and ready to respond – reducing the impact of any blow that may strike their community.

Your kind gift today of £81 could provide families like Fadi’s with a hygiene kit, including soap, face masks and reusable sanitary pads. These items not only protect families’ health and wellbeing, they also support their sense of dignity.

Poverty is not God’s plan. You are. Please support vital work like this around the world by giving to our Harvest Appeal today.
