Education
At TEAR Australia, we're passionate about God's priority for justice and compassion for the poor. We want to support Christians in Australia and the Australian church as they make a biblically-based response to suffering and injustice. Part of our Mission Statement puts this plainly:
We will: inform, challenge and empower Christians in Australia to make biblically-shaped responses to poverty and injustice.
Want to be informed, challenged and empowered? There are lots of ways to connect with TEAR's education programs.

TEAR Conferences
TEAR conferences are a time of challenging Bible teaching, encouraging fellowship and spiritual nourishment. It is a time to explore pathways of hope. A time to be reinvigorated in the mission Jesus has given us. A time to get equipped to bring hope to others. TEAR Conferences
