POVERTY CAN BE ERADICATED IF WE FIGHT APATHY,
SELFISHNESS AND LACK OF IMAGINATION.
The Strategic Resource Advocate (SRA) approach could mobilise most of us who could give a few hours a week to make this better known.
An SRA stays in their present occupation but takes on board the cares and concerns of other people, whether in the local neighborhood or overseas. It means that they advocate amongst others to get things done to learn about the real issues causing poverty, to raise funds and equipment to make changes and to galvanise others to work in teams with them. They adopt an area, a tribe, a village, a person and seek to make a difference in those lives. Once a year they travel to see the work for themselves and report back to others what has been accomplished.

Most of us think of missions as the white mans realm. Few realise the huge contribution that Africans themselves have made to the cause of Christ, their inventiveness and simple lifestyle that won the hearts of millions.

Project of the month:
Some times as little as $100 gift can transform a man or womans life by giving them the capital to start their own business. A business like hair dressing, using a wheel barrow at a bus station or an oven to bake cakes to sell to travellers. All these and more have been used to start a person on the road to self sufficiency and wealth creation. WCM is starting a small deposit in order to create funds to be used by people in Asia and Africa to get a loan, use it and repay it back into that loan based through our reps in that country.
