Brothers, Sisters, Cousins, Aunts
every extended family would have
over a hundred people in their family
one hundred people saving ten dollar's per week
A thousand dollars per week
Fifty two thousand dollars per year
the deposit for a house every year
turn life into a game of monopoly
sell the houses to buy hotels
creating family wealth
Wealthy people create employment
pay descent wages
decent wages buy food
employment overcomes poverty
decent wages stop starvation
building better lives
children make mistakes
they leave school
without a descent education
given employment
they can be trained on the job
wealthy parents can support education
better education, provides children with careers
children with careers don't need to steal
your church, your congregation
can do the same
every church, holds more than a hundred people
every person in that congregation
could invest, ten dollars per week
to create employment
every job, overcomes poverty
every job, destroys starvation
a Minister could work during the week
a Minister could also be a manager
people can do more than just one job
money should not be your God
Money should be a tool, we use to overcome problems
investment can be used to create farms,
factories, shops and employment
wars destroy economies
Investment builds economies,
from families, to Church and Governments
you all have the power in your hands
to overcome the problems of the earth
you can invest creating solar power
you can invest building forests
you can invest building farms
with every job, you reduce poverty
with every job, you reduce starvation
thousands of dollars, are given in charity
but never overcome, the problems
charity builds dependency
from individual to Church and state
the power is in your hands
coming together, saving together
investing together
you can change the world
you can overcome poverty
you can stop starvation
you can create a healthy world
Oceans have become depleted of fish
animal species are being destroyed
insects are being destroyed
the worlds environment is being destroyed
we need to create sustainable living systems
in the eighteen hundreds, we had less than a billion
people on the planet
but now the human race has grown to 7.7 billion
You have the power to change the world
you can have less children
you can overcome poverty
you can overcome starvation
you can, make a better world
if you work together
the future you make
is up to you
