Last year we took part in a Slum Survivor. It was a great success; we had fun hanging out together, raised a lot of money for soul action, and for a short time experienced something similar to how many people live every day.

So we are doing it again!!

Slum Survivor is a weekend event where we’ll choose to spend a few days the way a billion people who live in the world slums spend their lifetimes. We build and live in our own slum houses (built out of basic discarded materials) for a weekend. We will eat simple food. We will face restrictions in what clothing and personal items we can bring. We will compete in challenges that simulate aspects of slum life. We will also get sponsored and raise money for work in poor communities around the world. We will also spend time in worship and prayer, reflecting on how we can respond to God’s heart for justice.

The essential point is that we’d raise money for projects and people working in poor communities around the world and through taking part we will hopefully understand a bit more about the lives of others around the world and what we can do to show love to them. 

All the money raised will go to the work of Soul Action.
