This booklet introduces Tearfund’s theology of mission. It looks at what the Bible says about mission, at how Jesus Christ shows us what mission is, and at how we learn to participate in mission ourselves.

Tearfund’s understanding of mission is sometimes described by theologians as integral or holistic mission. We share the good news of God’s mission in our words, deeds and character within the various situations in which we find ourselves working.
