In His ImageSample
Tearfund works around the globe through Church and Community Mobilization, a process which helps local churches work within their communities. The following story comes from one such church…
Tom and Jimmy’s parents died as a result of AIDS. They were left as orphans, dependent on their uncle. The family plot was left unattended and their sister Agnes, and younger brother Stephen, were sent to other relatives.
Tom and Jimmy were passing by the village church one day when they overheard some teaching. “God has a purpose for you,” a CCM trainer was explaining, “He wants you to be fruitful. Indeed, he has given you the resources that you need, if only you would take hold of them.”

About this Plan
This study looks at what it means to be created in God's image. Inspired by Tearfund's work in Church and Community Mobilization, which helps the local church work with its community, this study shares in the vision to address local needs by using the local church's own resources. The CCM approach has been used around the world and has brought remarkable transformation to local churches and their communities.
