Businesspeople can impart job skills. This kind of social involvement can also provide opportunities for evangelism. Social action and evangelism often work hand in hand. When we meet people's needs, we often open up opportunities to reach them for Jesus Christ. This leads to a third solution.
Christian involvement can lead to spiritual conversion.
By bringing these people into a relationship with Jesus Christ, we can break the culture of poverty. Being born again can improve attitudes and family relationships. It can give new direction and the ability to overcome handicaps and hardships. A fourth area of Christian involvement is to call people to their biblical task. Christians should gently but firmly admonish those whose poverty is the result of poor work habits to begin taking responsibility for their own lives.
