Tearfund

Tearfund is a Christian charity which partners with churches in more than 50 of the world’s poorest countries. It tackles poverty and injustice through sustainable development, by responding to disasters and challenging injustice. Tear Fund believes an end to extreme poverty is possible.

Thousands of people needlessly suffer and die every day because of poverty. But that’s not God’s plan for the world. And God is calling you – all of us – to reach out to people in greatest need. Tear Fund partners with local churches and organisations who have a crucial role to play in the places worst affected by poverty.

Why does Dumfries Baptist Church support Tear Fund?

DBC has a long history of supporting Tear Fund. A few of our members have served with Tear Fund abroad. When there was a local support group in Dumfries, many of us met regularly to learn, pray for the work and fundraise. Each year, DBC members are involved in organising the Drumlanrig Cycle Challenge.
