"I'm what the world considers to be a phenomenally successful man. And I've failed much more than I've succeeded. And each time I fail, I get my people together, and I say, "Where are we going?" And it starts to get better." - Calvin Trager
We've probably all heard the statistic by now -- 1.2 billion people living on less than one dollar a day.
But what does that really mean? What does that really look like when you put a human face on it.
BBC news online did just that. Click on this link and then click on the pictures on the map for the stories.
You'll read about:
*Adu, (pictured above) who works as a security officer in Lagos, Nigeria.
*Lily, who works as a tailor in a clothing factory in Nairobi, Kenya
*Aristides, who works as a driver in Luanda, Angola
*Pedze, who works as a payments officer in Mutare, Zimbabwe
Truth be told, each of these stories is about someone who makes a little more than a dollar a day -- which gives you some idea how truly desparate life must be for those 1.2 billion.
Every one a name. Every one a face. Every one the image of God. Every one a temple in which Christ is to be met.

"Christ's example is being
demeaned by the church if they ignore the new leprosy,
which is AIDS. The church is the sleeping giant here.
If it wakes up to what's really going on in the rest
of the world, it has a real role to play. If it doesn't,
it will be irrelevant."
