"Fighting against poverty is not about charity, it's about justice..." - Bono, U2"

Do you think 'corruption' and 'good governance' sound too political and have nothing to do with you?

Or are you desperate to get involved and take action?

Whatever your current thoughts on the subject, Micah Challenge would like to invite you to read the 'Open for Service' discussion paper and consider what our response as global Christians citizens might be in a world struggling to balance power and poverty. 

 

Prayer Resource on Governance

 This prayer resource, written by Micah Challenge International board member Christine MacMillan, focuses on our Christian response to governance issues. Including Biblical references as well as practical prayer suggestions and questions to ponder, it’s a very useful resource for addressing this complex and multifaceted issue.
