February 3, 2008 - Micah Challenge: The Time for Social Justice
Throughout His teaching starting from His first sermon in Luke 4:18, Jesus heart is to re-establish Righteousness/Justice (the same gk word in the N.T. dikaios) in His Kingdom. We will look at Jesus’ example, and share our own experiences.

Micah Challenge and Integral Mission
Integral Mission is the way of recognizing that the Gospel has social consequences as we call people to love, and as we bear witness to the transforming grace of Jesus Christ. If we ignore the world we betray the word of God…if we ignore the word of God we have nothing to bring to the world.
Presenter: Roy Berkenbosch, Vice Chair, Micah Challenge Canada; Director, Micah Center, The King’s University College
