You’ve heard before that today’s generation of young adults is focused on social justice issues. But did you know they were really active?
A new Barna Group study found that 93% of church-attending Christians are concerned about global poverty and 20% of practicing American Protestants have traveled outside of the United States to serve the global poor. But what’s really striking is the info they gathered about young adults:
Younger Christians, those under 40, are more than twice as likely to have traveled outside the U.S. to serve the global poor.
Younger Christians give 50% more than older Christians toward the cause of global poverty.
45% of younger Christians believe their churches should be more involved in helping the poor…and 37% said they would donate more to their church if their church increased its involvement.
Do your religious beliefs affect your concerns about poverty? Are you doing anything to eradicate hunger?

Good! Our church has tahgut us that the best way to show the mercy and love of God is by ourselves, by how we behave, how we react to different things, how we improve, how we change…… I think, that is what you tried to ask for in the article, right? If you can’t be a role model, there’s nothing the others can take from you.
