News & Events

As we have heard from news reports, hundreds of thousands of people in Pakistan have been devastated by the worst floods in the country’s history. The death toll already stands at 1400 and a further 2.5 million people are affected. Through their Pakistan partner, SSEWA-Pak, Tearfund is responding by distributing food and other essential items to the most vulnerable families.

As an initial response, £10,000 has been sent from the Free Church Disaster & Relief Fund to Tearfund, to assist with relief efforts. We pray for the millions affected by these floods; that they will experience God’s love, comfort and hope around them today.

We are grateful to congregations who send contributions to this fund on a regular basis, in order that we have the means to respond to disasters when they occur. We are also grateful to Women for Mission, who are regular and generous supporters of the Fund.
