Together, we’ve witnessed something extraordinary. For our 2026 End of Financial Year Appeal, 3,067 of you came together and thanks to your generosity, we reached our goal of $3.245 million.

We’ve pulled together a few short messages from staff across Tearfund – words we hope express just how grateful we are to walk alongside you on this journey.

It is such a privilege to witness God’s people responding to their global neighbours with extravagant love. Thank you for contributing the work of Tearfund and our partners, it truly is a privilege to partner with you. God is good!Bec Oates

Thank you so much for helping to bring about change together. We couldn’t do it without you. Your support is literally life changing, with every dollar donated like another seed of hope sown. We look forward to continuing to share the impact of this work in enabling all people to live lives to the fullest.Greg Hewson

Change starts with each of us stepping in, saying yes, choosing to let our lives be channels for the river of justice to roll through. Thank you for every gift, prayer, and expression of partnership shared! We love being able to share stories that move you and help you connect with your global neighbours, see where God is at work, and join him in it!Melody Murton

Thank you so much for supporting Tearfund’s work! It wouldn’t be possible without you. I’ll always be deeply grateful of your generosity and sacrifice to support sustainable development.Sam N

Thank you! Thank you for your time to connect, your compassion for the communities we serve, for your words of encouragement, for your hospitality and for giving so generously. I thank God for you!Rebekah Goh

How amazing it is to have our supporters give so generously into the mission of Tearfund through our end of financial year appeal: thank you! It is a privilege to partner in God's mission through Tearfund together.Chris

Thank you to our amazing Tearfund community's big heart for justice and living out radical generosity towards the work of Tearfund partners tackling the root causes of poverty and equipping communities to thrive!Coby

Wow! Thanks so much for your incredible generosity. I love my job because I get to witness the Tearfund community living out God’s love for all people, and see that love flow directly into the work of our faithful partners and the communities they walk alongside every day. Thanks for all your support! Katherine

Thank you for saying NO - no to a world that leaves people behind. Your gift is a line in the sand saying that you refuse to be part of a world where children cannot access education or are not assured of their next meal. You refuse to be part of a world where women are pushed aside. You refuse to be part of a world where maternal and child health is treated like a luxury instead of a basic right. You refuse to allow injustice to prevail.

Together, we are a community that walks in the footsteps of Jesus. The kind that moves toward injustice rather than away from it and insists on dignity and hope for every person.

Thank you for choosing to act when it would have been easier not to.
Mary

Thank you so much for your generosity. I feel deeply humbled and truly encouraged by the faithfulness you’ve shown this year. It means so much to be able to partner with you. Your kindness and support make a real difference, and I’m sincerely grateful for each of you. Kelly

I get to sit under the tree with the women’s groups, shake hands with the farmers, see the gardens and the chickens and the boreholes, hear the stories about change and challenge; real people in real places that you are in partnership with. Thank you so much for sharing your resources in this way, you are part of something really special.Jenny

To see that I’m part of this incredible community is both humbling and deeply uplifting. Knowing that thousands gave and hundreds more were praying as we raised the funds needed to support our partners, reminds me of how powerful we are when we move as one. I’m so grateful to be part of his community, joining as one doing justice together. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for standing with us, cheering us on, and making this life-changing work possible.Gerry

It has filled my heart to visit churches and schools across Australia this year and witness the prayers of God’s people coming together to follow Christ in pursuing mercy, compassion and justice! From youth groups to prayer teams, primary and secondary schools, Young Adult events, community workshops and so much more, thank you so much for helping people experience the fullness of life God has for them!Ben

Thank you to each and every church, school, community group, families and individuals right across the country. Your commitment to living out your faith in a way that is big spirited, generous and inclusive of all people is inspiring. Thank you for opening your lives to learn, pray, give, live and act on behalf of Tearfund's partners. It is a privilege to walk alongside, to share our stories, and witness community transformation!Sam

These past few weeks, I have seen God's character reflected in his people, as Christians who support Tearfund acted with generosity, selflessness, and a heart for restoration. It's been personally uplifting to witness fellow believers enacting their faith through Tearfund and getting to be a part of it. Thank you!Zhien-U
