Lift the Label
Lift the Label, Tearfund's ethical lifestyle campaign, not only challenges us to live lives that reflect God's priorities as we shop, but also challenge the unjust structures that keep our global neighbours in poverty.

Stopping AIDS. All together.
DO DEVELOPMENT NOW --> www.tearfund.org/miracle
Meet Esther from Malawi. Ten years ago she gave birth to a daughter Alinafe (which means 'God is with us') on Christmas Day. But did Alinafe inherit her mother's HIV, as well as her smile and eyes?
A baby is born with HIV every minute. But you can stop this happening. Just £7 a month can give a child the chance of an HIV-free start in life.

Glorious food
DO DEVELOPMENT NOW --http://www.tearfund.org/Extra/Glorious+food
Tearfund video. The poorest families in Bolivia have no choice about what they eat. There are no hypermarkets in the Andes. But there is a dominance of stunted growth and failing health.
Glorious Food showcases the work of Bolivian Christians who are warding off malnutrition by introducing fresh fruit 'n' veg to Quechua mealtimes for the first time ever!
Video from UK relief and development charity Tearfund. This project is one of over 450 that Tearfund supports in more than 70 countries. For more information visit www.tearfund.org

1) Action caused by the stirring of our souls. Souls changed by the effects of our actions. Encountering God makes us like Him. Being like Him opens our hearts and eyes to the world around us. He calls us to love others. As we love the world is changed.
Darfur Rising
Darfur Rising
Sudan, 5 min, 2006
dir. Peter Jordan
Children fleeing the genocide in Darfur describe the atrocities they have witnessed in their homeland. They remember their parents and siblings slaughtered in front of their eyes. They see pregnant mothers murdered and babies set on fire.
Safe now, in a refugee camp in Sudan, the children learn English in a temporary school. They sing and play in the school yard -- perhaps the only place where their childhoods are still intact. Having lost everything, all they have is education, which they hope will one day bring them peace.
