Addressing Rural PovertyUN and others see need

• Today, 75 percent of poor people in developing
  countries live in rural areas. There are several
  arguments supporting a rural focus for
  development aimed at poverty reduction (IFAD
  Rural Poverty Report)
• Addressing rural poverty cuts urban poverty by
  reducing migration.
• Reducing rural poverty depends on raising the
  productivity of the poor - but most approaches to
  urban poverty are welfare-oriented.
• The rural poor need female empowerment and
  improved health and education .
• Aid goes increasingly to non-rural sectors, where
  most of the poor do not live or work.

  breach, the restorer of the streets in which to
  dwell. Isaiah 5810b - 12

  every yoke?

  and bring the homeless poor into the house when
  you see the naked, to cover him
• Isaiah 58 6-7

We act Spirit FilledLike Jesus did and said

• The Spirit of the Lord God is upon me, because
  the Lord has anointed me to bring good news to
  the afflicted, He has sent me to bind up the
  brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to captives,
  and freedom to prisoners
• To proclaim the favorable year of the Lord,
  and.to comfort all who mourn
• Giving them a garland instead of ashes, the oil
  of gladness instead of mourning, the mantle of
  praise instead of a spirit of faintingIs 581-3

Jesus told us to lift up our eyes on to the
fields for they are white on to harvest! John
