Lazarus at the Gate
In a culture driven by consumerism, we as Christians must learn to follow Jesus in everything—including with our money. This practice of economic discipleship leads to discerning ways to consume less.
People around the world are more connected than ever before through commerce, information technology, transportation, and media. Because of this reality, our personal consumption is a justice issue. What we buy, and how much, either supports or rejects global systems that oppress people.
Socially Responsible Investing (SRI) is a way to divert our investment dollars away from companies that do harm and toward those doing good—companies whose values and practices align with our own.
"God is just; He is perfectly upright and fair in how he treats His creation: “Yet the LORD longs to be gracious to you; therefore he will rise up to show you compassion. For the LORD is a God of justice. Blessed are all who wait for him!” (Isaiah 30:18; see also Deuteronomy 32:4; Zephaniah 3:5; Acts 17:31; Revelation 16:5–6)." — an excerpt from gotquestions.org.
A story communicates fear, hope, anxiety, and because we can feel it, we get the moral not just as a concept, but as a teaching of our hearts. That’s the power of story. — Marshall Ganz, “Why Stories Matter,” Sojourners Magazine, March 2009.
Ending Extreme Poverty by 2030
The number of people living in extreme poverty – $1.25 per person per day — was cut in half from 1990 to 2010. Although some have attributed this success largely to rapid economic growth in some of the world’s largest countries, there are thousands of organizations around the world that have been working to empower the poorest people across the globe through education, health care, relief, and development.
About 800 million people across the globe still struggle with severely low incomes, and some of these organizations are coming together with the UN, the World Bank, and government aid agencies to call for the eradication of extreme poverty by 2030. We intend to join with other supporting organizations to add our voices and resources to achieve this goal.
