ECONOMIC DISCIPLESHIP: VULNERABILITY TO LIBERATE THE VULNERABLE

Abstract

Jesus’ call is to an incarnational lifestyle that results in announcing good news of liberty from oppression, an eternal Jubilee (Luke 4:18, 19).  In the economic realm this involves living out ten principles of economic discipleship.  Training pastors to teach these, liberates their people from economic oppression, and enables the pastors to serve instead of oppress. As these teachings multiply, slums are transformed. Our choosing vulnerability in order to proclaim Jubilee results in setting free the vulnerable.
