You’ve heard the overwhelming statistics. You’ve probably felt
compassion, guilt, powerlessness, hopelessness. You might have
given money, food, clothes, or even some of your time to help a few
of the billions of people living in destitution in our world. But

in the image of God, who is dying in the arms of poverty?
Andy Matheson, Oasis International Director, argues that we can

solutions when we focus on the truth that all people are made in
God’s image. God calls us to meet with the poor not primarily to
offer services or to develop programs, but to develop.
