Isaiah 58 begins with a call to shout out about the wrongs in society and in people's lives, to shout out about God's concern for the poor, the homeless and the hungry, to cry out against injustice.
We can take action to end extreme poverty by telling others. Here are some ways you can start "shouting:"
Some tips for shouting:
- "Shouting" is just telling others and inviting them to take action.
- You can shout any way you want: by email, by Facebook, by Twitter, by text or - you could even talk to them!
- Shouting matters because the more people you tell, the greater difference you can make.
- Start with your friends and family, but realize the power of your Shout. You can use your voice to let the church or even government leaders know they need to take action as well to end extreme poverty.
- Learn more about Shouting and the biblical mandate for it.
This last tip is so important, we need to know and understand about the issues we are shouting about – reading "Fast Living" is a great way to do that, another is to use the resources available to Small Group leaders to discuss and learn about these issues in your Small Group.
How will you shout out today about the poor?
