Micah Challenge!

This month, MICAH CHALLENGE http://www.micahchallenge.us/Home.shtml will be our social justice focus for Dessert House! We are thrilled to partner with Micah Challenge in raising awareness of the Millennium Development Goals and giving you the avenues to take action to combat international justice issues.

In 2000, the nations of the world, including the United States, adopted eight Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) for the alleviation of extreme poverty. Targets
were set for each of these goals, and nations have made commitments for meeting these targets by 2015.

Micah Challenge is grounded in the spirit of Micah 6:8, “And what does the Lord require
of you? To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God.” Micah Challenge is a global campaign to mobilize Christians against poverty. The campaign aims to deepen Christian engagement with impoverished and marginalized communities, and to influence leaders
of rich and poor nations to fulfill their promise to achieve the Millennium Development Goals. Micah Challenge exists in 39 countries around the globe.
