"Look! The wages you failed to pay the workmen who mowed your fields are crying out against you. The cries of the harvesters have reached the ears of the Lord Almighty. You have lived on earth in luxury and self indulgence. You have fattened yourselves in the day of slaughter. You have condemned and murdered innocent men who were not opposing you." James 5:4-6
The Micah Call
The more people who get behind the Micah Challenge campaign, the stronger our impact will be. Take some time to read the following statement, and if you agree, sign below.
This is a moment in history of unique
potential, when the stated intentions of world leaders echo something
of the mind of the Biblical prophets and the teachings of Jesus
concerning the poor, and when we have the means to dramatically reduce
poverty.
We commit ourselves, as followers of Jesus, to work together for the holistic transformation of our communities, to pursue justice, be passionate about kindness and to walk humbly with God.
We call on international and national decision-makers of both rich and poor nations, to fulfil their public promise to achieve the Millennium Development Goals and so halve absolute global poverty by 2015.
We call on Christians everywhere to be agents of hope for and with the poor, and to work with others to hold our national and global leaders accountable in securing a more just and merciful world.
