Action: Teach a four-week Sunday school class or host an informal discussion group in your home to educate others about the Micah Challenge and global poverty. Make it fun! Serve fair trade snacks from other parts of the world.

You can look for resources and ideas on the Micah Challenge US website and the Micah Challenge Canada website, or check out the international site.

Quote: "God is in the slums, in the cardboard boxes where the poor play house...

God is in the silence of a mother who has infected her child with a virus that will end both their lives...

God is in the cries heard under the rubble of war...

God is in the debris of wasted opportunity and lives,

and God is with us if we are with them."

- Bono

Hymn: God Of Justice Ever Flowing (Sing! 101)

Fact: One third of all deaths are due to poverty-related causes.
