Who is the 'Blow the Whistle' campaign aimed at?
This campaign is directed first and foremost at our Government and Christians here in the UK.
We want to remind Prime Minister Tony Blair and the Secretary of State for International Development Hilary Benn that we care about the world’s poorest people. We want to hold them to account on their promises to the poor and urge them to hold other world leaders to account in also playing their parts to fulfil the MDGs by 2015.
As Christians, we want to remind ourselves that we have a part to play in delivering these promises to the poor.
God cares deeply about the poor. This is a theme that runs throughout the Bible and Christians are called to accompany faith with action; all Christians should get involved with Blow the Whistle as an expression of their faith and an outworking of their inner beliefs. Not only can we campaign, but we can also pray, learn more, give and get involved so that as individuals, churches and communities we can make a real difference.
Finally, Micah Challenge is reaching out to everyone; everyone who believes that global poverty is wrong and wants to do something about it has a part to play.
