Are you concerned about the problem of poverty in the world? Do you want to do something about it? This book is for you!Dirty slums, beggars on the street, children with swollen tummies, barren fields, no electricity, no running water, and no toilet are visible signs of poverty, but there are other forms of poverty that are not seen right away. Understanding the underlying causes of poverty is the single most important thing in responding to poverty. Evangelical Christians have been actively involved in poverty alleviation in the Philippines for a long time. However, the persistence of poverty shows that there is so much more to be done. This book provides insights from the perspective of both parties, development practitioners and poor people, in order to clarify and solidify evangelical christian response to poverty.
