What is poverty? (three-minute video)

www.tearfund.org - 1.3 billion people live in extreme poverty, surviving on less than 60 pence each day.

WHY SHOULD YOU CARE?
The Bible is full of God's demands on behalf of the poor. A concern for the poor is at the very centre of who God is and this suggests it should be high on our agenda too.
