Why does it matter that Tearfund is a Christian organisation? Our supporters share their thoughts and open their hearts.
At the end of 2018 Tearfund sent an email to our supporters, and it drew a remarkable response...
We asked 'what does our Christian identity and ethos mean to you?' Reading through the 1,257 replies, a few clear themes stood out.
Trust
Our supporters said they feel they can trust Tearfund. Supporters commented that we were ultimately answerable to God in our use of financial gifts:
‘I know I can trust Tearfund to use the money donated wisely, as they recognise they are God's stewards.’

‘To me it's run not only to The Charity Commission standards but to God’s standards of compassion and truth.’
