A Biblical View of Poverty

Dr. Jerry Bilkes wrote the following review of the presentation when Rick spoke at Puritan in 2010. This year's presentation will be an updated version of that one which will delve into some new areas.

'Rick Postma's "A Biblical View of Poverty" is an extraordinary, mind-bending, and heart-stirring presentation on the church's calling with respect to global poverty. Thoroughly biblical, and unabashedly confessional, this compelling, one of a kind lecture emerges from years of thoughtful study as well as wide-ranging, hands-on experience. Hamstrung by the cacophony of approaches and cynicism of many, the church needs the panorama of biblical truth to see things holistically, not just for those in the two-thirds world but also for ourselves - and this Rick Postma does grippingly in 90 minutes. For church leaders, seminary students, and ordinary Christians seeking a biblical view of poverty and the calling of mercy, I know nothing quite like it.'
