How To Sustain a Justice Movement

Thoughts from a break-out session by Paul Metzger on Dietrich Bonhoeffer, Mother Teresa, and John Perkins

  • Believe in a suffering God
  • Believe in a resurrected God
  • See Jesus in relation to the poor
  • Sense your own poverty in relation to the poor
  • Lay down your life for your friends
  • Lay down your life with your friends
  • Invest in people
  • Invite people to partner with you
  • Don’t operate out of sense of entitlement, but a debt of gratitude
  • Be creative in your suffering
  • Focus on integrity and faithfulness, not success
  • Focus on Christ and your own identity in Christ
