Wise words from my friend and colleague in @tearfundire.
Tearfund Ireland CEO, Sean Copeland, shares more about the current situation that is impacting aid organisations on a global scale and how the Church can use this unfolding situation to demonstrate the love and wisdom of God.

This is a pretty technical but incredible solution to vulnerable communities in a chaotic world. @Tearfund leading the charge in creative, sustainable and local solutions to poverty.
Could #insurance save the lives and livelihood of small-scale farmers in drought-affected nations? 1,200 families in Malawi now have drought-resistant crops after low rainfall meant a payout to @Tearfund - listen🔊:

This was an absolute highlight. In conversation with my friend and colleague from Jordan. Talking all things Middle East. Real life, the Kingdom, peeling away the layers, and in the midst of genuine trauma, and then. HOPE.

An absolute joy to see @TearfundNI Christmas appeal launch this week, with support from @SPARNI - meaning every £ is DOUBLED!! . Having @chef_jeffers on board is the icing on the cake!.
We are delighted that @chef_jeffers is backing our Christmas Appeal with @SPARNI @EUROSPAR_NI and ViVO. 'I'm passionate about food. It breaks my heart that around the world, families are having to travel so far in search of the very basics.'.

Lots of interest and sign ups for this - choose the morning or evening and get yourself along! It will be really worthwhile as we struggle to be informed and to pray for what we see on our screens. Safa is from Jordan and he's the real deal - you'll love him!.
It can be hard to know just how to respond to the news from the Middle East. Come and hear from our Director for the region, Safa Hijazeen, on 7 November, either at:. 10AM at Emmanuel Church Lurgan. Or. 7.30PM at the Skainos Centre, Belfast. RSVP to ni@tearfund.org

The sheer joy of @TheRestHistory double episode on Beards is a pure antidote! The passion of debate around early/mid/late 16th C beard detail: Gold. I for one could have done a 6 parter. Thank you @holland_tom @dcsandbrook.

A helpful reminder in the midst of more obvious, and very real, tragedies in our news that the catastrophe in Sudan rages on.

Today is World Humanitarian Day, so I am thankful for my colleagues around the world serving in challenging, unstable, frustrating and often dangerous contexts. For @Tearfund that is what it means to follow Jesus where the need is greatest!.
