The church – God’s Plan A for transformation

At Tearfund, we are passionate about the church – the local church and the global church. We believe it is the church that God has called and ordained to bring his good news. Around the world, the church is doing great things, supporting members of their communities and helping bring impact and change. We believe that the global church is God’s Plan A for transformation.

Join us to pray for the church to bring transformation

Each day of this 30-day guide, features a Bible passage, a reflection, and either a written prayer or prayer points to guide your time with God. Through the stories we’ll read and the images we’ll see, we will go on a journey around the world and hear about the amazing things God is doing through his church. And we’ll also pray for places where we need God to intervene.

We’ll find out more about how Tearfund’s innovative, life-changing training run through local churches is helping to bring an end to extreme poverty in more than 50 countries around the world. And we’ll pray bold but expectant prayers for even greater impact.

Poverty is not God’s plan. You are. We believe in a loving God who hears and responds to our prayers. And we believe that joining together in prayer makes an enormous difference to communities across the world.
