The Global
Hope Report

2025

Join a movement of hope in action

In an age marked by crisis, disconnection and despair, many are asking: Where is hope? While nations turn inwards, at Tearfund, we believe this is the time to step up: to lift our eyes, re-centre our hearts, and lead with hope.

Will you join us?

The 2025 Global Hope Report

How hopeful do Australians feel about the world – and their own lives? What does this mean for Christians as agents of God’s hope in a weary world? Fresh research commissioned by Tearfund and undertaken by NCLS will give landmark insights and a powerful story that our world needs to hear.

The 2025 Global Hope Report features all of the findings, insightful comments from survey respondents, stories that bring the research to life and biblical truths that underpin the message of hope.

“At a time when the world feels increasingly, overwhelmingly uncertain—rising hunger, worsening disasters, deepening injustice—what good news it is that we have hope… And yet—the needs are growing. Shrinking aid budgets and compounding global crises have created a widening gap. It’s a gap that you and I, as followers of Jesus, can fill with a bold, persistent hope in action.”
