Poverty
In brief: Despite all our scientific advances in agriculture, engineering and medicine, millions of people in the world live in poverty without basic necessities. Poverty isn't confined to the third world, although that is certainly where there is most need. Everyday people die of preventable illness and starvation. As Christians, we are called not only to spread the message of salvation through Christ, but also to love like Christ did and to serve our neighbours in need.
