Just Mercy

This is a new 4 week group or individual guide based on Micah 6:8, providing the central resource for 'Micah Challenge' - a significant global movement where all national campaigns join together to provide a stronger global voice in its efforts to hold leaders to account to halve extreme poverty by 2015. The campaign will initially focus on 10.10.10 (10th October 2010) and aims to mobilize 100 million Christians to pray a global prayer; 10 million to make a promise to the poor, signified by making handprints; 1000 politicians visited with these handprints by ‘ordinary prophets’ – Christians young and old, rich and poor who may never have undertaken such advocacy actions before. Each week will include Bible study, group activities, practical and devotional responses and contributions from key global worship leaders around the world, encouraging Christians to make justice more than politics but what ordinary Christians do as part of their worship. The printed resource will be backed up with free downloadable material and an accompanying worship CD will be published by Kingsway. The 4 studies will focus on our walk with God, humility, mercy and justice. The campaign goes through to 2015 with a different focus each year to highlight issues of justice and mercy in our world.
