Saint Pauls uses 10 %
of what we are given to support charitable causes in the UK and abroad. We have
decided, each month, to publicise and to concentrate our prayers on, a
different cause.
The organisation we are
featuring this month is Tear Fund. This is a Christian Relief and Development
organisation that works by supporting the actions of churches who are local to
where the need is.
Tear fund describes its brief
as follows:
“We're Christians passionate
about ending poverty. We go to where the need is greatest, working through
local churches to unlock people's potential and helping them to discover that
the answer to poverty is within themselves. When disasters strike, we respond
quickly. We won't stop until poverty stops. What drives us is a belief that the
local church is a powerful force for transformation in communities living in
every kind of poverty. Inspired by the example and teaching of Jesus, we recognise
that people have deeply interconnected material and spiritual needs, and we
seek to meet those needs by working through our local church partners.“
At St. Paul’s we support
Tear Fund to make a difference in the world, on our behalf, being Jesus’ eyes,
hands and feet, just as he asked us to.
