POVERTY, INJUSTICE AND THE FUTURE CHURCH
The issue is not poverty but poverty in close proximity of affluence
We live in a very poor world with small pockets of incredible affluence. In order for the church to develop a ministry to the WORLD we will need to develop a ministry that is applicable to the POOR
The future church is all about rediscovering the original church
Future World Poor uneducated world Diverse world full of conflict Highly populated world Scarcity of resources A world longing for HOPE
A new understanding The psyche of the poor The value of poor people The needs of poor people
IMPERATIVES REAL engagement relationships RELEVANT theological training RAW ministry EMPOWERING the poor to minister to the poor
JUSTICE? WHAT KIND OF JUSTICE?
