Ngo Strategies by Christians to Change the World

Want to change the world? This book shares stories and practical ways that as Christians we can help to reduce human suffering in many developing nations. It admonishes all of us, as children of God, to reduce the suffering of others, empower the poor, and take innovative actions to improve society by applying our faith and brains as well as financial resources. God anointed his Son with the Holy Spirit and power, and Jesus "went around doing good" (Acts 10:38), and we should follow his example. He didn't merely suggest that we serve the world's have-nots; He commanded us to do so. Utilizing the best and most impactful solutions that exist, in this book I draw on the labors-of-love carried out by many U.S. Christians to offer the world's poor not merely a handout, but an empowering hand-up. The book inspires readers with amazing stories of washing the feet of lepers in India, aiding earthquake victims in Haiti, using microloans to help the Native American poor as Jesus would do, and laboring to assist survivors in rebuilding after the horrific Asian tsunami crisis, plus much more.
