Micah Challenge UK

Micah Challenge UK is a coalition of Christian organisations and churches in Britain, united in their concern to fight global poverty. The challenge at the heart of the movement is Micah 6:8. “And what does the Lord require of you? To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God.”

It seeks to sensitise and engage Christians into greater political and practical involvement with the issues relating to poverty by highlighting biblical truths which prompt a compassion of heart. It will also enable Christians to pray, take action, speak out and engage with the issues surrounding poverty, here in the UK as well as overseas.

It is part of the international Micah Challenge movement, uniting to hold their governments to account for the promises they made to eradicate extreme poverty and hunger by 2015 (the MDGs).
