58:

Wow. I got the film screening kit for "58: The Film" in the mail today, and it was incredible. It takes you around the world, from Ethiopia to Kenya to Brazil to India to New York, exploring what different types of poverty look like. You'll "meet" beautiful people from all walks of life who have one thing in common: Jesus Christ. The film resolves with a plea; a challenge - for the church to jump-start ending extreme poverty once and for all. 

Is it possible? I'm a believer. Within 30 years, the percentage of people living in extreme poverty has gone from 52% to 26%. What will it take to get that number to 0%? 

Check out http://www.live58.org/ to learn about what they are doing to address all aspects of poverty. You can also search for showing in your area!

(For all you Colorado folk, I will hopefully be organizing a showing of 58: at CCU soon. Pray that everything comes together for that, and keep your ears open for when it'll be happening!)
