Mandate for Gen-TXT

Mandate 4 “Gen-Txt”
Our generation faces tremendous issues including a terrifying lack of access to potable water, the explosion of drug-resistant disease, and escalating dependency on drugs and alcohol.
All of these issues are insidiously rooted in poverty. The greatest challenge we face is incorporating and finalizing solutions for the cries echoing across the globe.
“I’m thirsty. I’m hungry. I’m in pain.”
No continent, no nation, no people-group, is exempt from the issues associated with poverty. As I travel through India teaching hygiene, I am deeply burdened to see that, just as in my home country, the number of people living below the poverty line is skyrocketing.
Poverty breeds hopelessness, selfishness, fear and anger. Poverty kills hope and starts wars. Poverty births disease, hatred, crime and violence.
I know this because I grew up among the poor.
My generation has a mandate to incorporate and initiate viable solutions that catapult the world’s poor out of poverty. Achieving this goal requires our greatest minds, and greater sacrifice on the part of those who “have” than ever before in history.
We need to reach out as a generation, with universal hands of empowerment, and grease the squeaking wheel. It takes ALL of us to do what we are all called to do.
We must do so NOW, at any cost because in doing so, we’ll experience the restoration of relationships, health, hope and ultimately, of our planet.
