  • We can’t overestimate the power of God’s people taking action together. From reducing our individual plastic usage to influencing leaders making policy on a global stage, every action makes a difference in creating a fairer world for everyone, especially communities living in poverty. Even if we never see the impact of our actions, as Christians, God still calls us to act justly, love mercy and walk humbly (Micah 6:8).
