Objectives for more information.
The serious scale of poverty affecting a great cross section of the population in
sub-Saharan Africa has been well publicized. Young and old, educated and illiterate,
are trapped in a hopeless situation with nothing to cling to but their faith. Paul’s
exhortation to the Philippians that ‘God shall supply all your need’ is a promise
they hold on to - that promise however is normally met through the moral conviction
and compassionate generosity governments, institutions and others who are prepared
to give a little of their ‘surplus’ to meet the basic needs of ‘the poor’. This
Christian ethic of ‘equality’ is a founding principle upon which the work of SHAREAfrica
is based. (2Cor 8v14) |
