Ron Sider. In the late 1960’s, faced with the glaring needs and blatant injustice of the inner city, Ronald Sider began to work toward developing a biblical response to social injustice. In 1977, Ron’s ground-breaking book, Rich Christians in an Age of Hunger, was published. Hailed by Christianity Today as one of the 100 most influential books in religion in the twentieth century, Rich Christians has sold over 400,000 copies. Among his many books are Living Like Jesus (1999); Just Generosity: A New Vision for Overcoming Poverty in America (1999-2006); The Scandal of the Evangelical Conscience (2005); and The Scandal of Evangelical Politics (2008).

Ash Barker is the founding director of Urban Neighbours Of Hope which began in Springvale (Melb, Aus) in 1993 and now has chapters of workers loving God and neighbours in some of the neediest urban neighbourhoods in Melbourne, Sydney and Bangkok. Ash with Anji have two children and have lived and served Christ in the largest sum in Bangkok, Klong Toey, since April 2002. A sought after speaker and the author of six books including “Make Poverty Personal”, Ash has a passion to live a life that is good and can matter for Christ among the urban poor.

Jim Reiher. Green’s Party Australia. Jim is both political policy activist and Christian theologian (Author of Discipleship and Wealth, James).

Denise and Dave Tims have pioneered new missional works in neighbourhoods amongst Maori communities in Whanganui, Gisborne and are currently considering a new initiative in South Auckland.
