A society where Christians in the UK of all denominations are passionate about alleviating the injustice of poverty – and are willing to do something about it… a time when Christians across our nation, speak out in unity and with influence to our government… a time when non Christians want to join us because of the truth, justice and authenticity of our actions… Christians around the world uniting in a global movement to reduce poverty.
Micah Challenge UK is part of a global Christian movement which aims to deepen our engagement with the poor and marginalized through prayer and action. It seeks to encourage leaders of developed and developing nations to fulfil their promise to halve absolute poverty by 2015 through the Millennium Development Goals.
There is a 3.5 minute inspirational DVD which is an excellent introduction for Micah Challenge UK. You can download it or order a hard copy from enquiries@micahchallenge.org.uk.
If your church would like to study the challenge of Micah in more depth whether during a Sunday service or in small groups, youth or children’s groups, there are resources available on the Micah Challenge UK website.
