Galatians 2:9-10
There is no doubt that Christians are to care for the poor and address issues of poverty.  Paul is reminded by the other Apostles to “remember the poor” in his ministry, and Paul replied that he was ready and willing to do so.
We must be careful to understand that “poor” does not necessarily mean financially poor, although Scripture often is pointing to economic poverty.  But it could also refer to being spiritually poor.  It could be that someone is morally poor, or ethically poor.  All of these are issues of poverty, and although we might not have someone who is economically poor nearby, there are others that we must care for in other forms of poverty at every socioeconomic level.
Focus Question: 
What kind of ministry to the poor are you familiar within your city or town?  Are you involved in any kind of ministry to the poor?
