Publisher's Synopsis
Poverty continues to be a growing global crisis, but Christians can dramatically help alleviate this suffering by emulating the teachings of Christ. "Remember the Poor" attempts to awaken North American Christians to the plight of the poor and their responsibility to minister to these people. To address this worldwide epidemic, author Rob Elkington focuses on four key themes, including the following: The state of the poor in the twenty-first century Biblical material that addresses poverty The role of the church in North America The role of the church globally through strategic partnerships "Remember the Poor" provides current statistical data on the state of the poor across the globe and examines the biblical material that shows how God encourages us to love the poor. Elkington also offers practical suggestions on how Christians can minister through their local church to those stricken by poverty. Ministering to the poor can be one of life's greatest blessings. Take a stand to end poverty in our world and let the power of Jesus Christ move you to serve Him in all that you do. "Remember the Poor" will show you how to make a difference!
