Corina Villacorta asserts that as Jesus acknowledged the sorrow around him and acted in response to needs, so Christians must take an active role in government, society and organizations. We should fight against injustice, oppression and environmental degradation as we fight for the poor.
Dr Ravi Jayakaran suggests participatory learning is an effective way to support and empower poor communities to define and work on their own solutions to problems.
Richard Stearns argues that the churches in the more prosperous northern hemisphere, in particular, need to return to the gospel of Christ. That gospel is not just about individual salvation, but a life transformation that results in compassion, service and a striving for justice.

whole gospel to the whole world||In our task for the global church to take the whole gospel to the whole world we are encouraged in the western world to be more generous and give more as part of our call to engage with the whole gospel. However, it is fairly well documented that billions, maybe even trillion in aid from the western world-- including christian NGO’s which mostly derive the majority of their programmatic funding from the government--to the majority world has entrenched poverty, specifically poverty of self. Part of the whole gospel is recognition that humanity is made in the image of God, something that is often not ’grasped’ in conditions of absolute poverty. It seems that these aspects of the whole gospel are at odds with each other in the current conversation. How do we reconcile the notion that one aspect of the whole gospel (generous giving of the western world) causes aspects of the whole gospel (correct image of self) to be squashed in the majority world? What attention is being given to this issue?
