Christians, Poverty, and the Culture Wars



"in 2009, American churches gave $13 billion to global relief and development efforts..... In 2012, World Vision alone spent about $2.8 billion on the poor. And 600 evangelical agencies spent $9.2 billion on orphan care, relief work, and on medical, educational, and other services to the poor. And I won’t even mention the evangelical fight against Ebola."
