Micah's Challenge: The Church's Responsibility to the Global Poor
Marijke Hoek / Justin Thacker
Micah Challenge is a global Christian campaign. Our aims are to deepen our engagement with impoverished and marginalised communities; and to challenge international leaders, and leaders of rich and poor countries, to achieve the Millennium Development Goals, and so halve absolute global poverty by 2015!
'He has showed you, O man, what is good. And what
does the LORD require of you? To act justly and to
love mercy and to walk humbly with your God' (Micah
6:8).


This is Micah's challenge to Israel in his day and to
the Church in our day. God called them and us to act
with justice, mercy and humility in our dealings with the
poor.


This book pulls together prophetic voices from
Jim Wallis to Tony Campolo and from Ronald Sider to
Ren? Padilla and Joel Edwards to explore the
theological, ethical and practical dimensions of Micah's
challenge.


The heart of the book is an exploration of 'acting
justly', 'walking humbly', and 'loving mercy'. That call is
set within a broader biblical and theological framework
and followed by reflections on how we might live it out
today. Micah's Challenge offers a passionate, biblical,
and challenging call to think afresh and to act
redemptively as individuals and as Christian communities.
