Students Tackle Justice at Geneva College

Last Year I had the pleasure of spending spring break with students from Geneva College. Micah Challenge organized a trip for them to Washington DC to learn about activism, faith, justice, and how to take action. We visited Bread for the World, the ONE campaign, Food for the Hungry, Sojourners, and many other Micah Challenge Partners. We wrestled with big questions like "what does it mean to follow Jesus in a world with so much inequality?", "how do we take what we've learned home with us and take action against poverty?", "how do we as north american college students fight global poverty?". It was a challenging and blessed week together!

Just a few weeks ago students at Geneva college (some from the trip) organized a "justice week" focused on four of the eight MDGs--THEY TOOK ACTION!! Students wore armbands supporting the MDG they committed to pray for that week, and they also took actions daily to help meet that MDG. Read the Full Story! We are blessed and encouraged by their faithful action!
