I was hungry and you gave me something to eat,
I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink,
I was a stranger and you invited me in,
I needed clothes and you clothed me,
I was sick and you looked after me,
I was in prison and you came to visit me.
-Jesus

Abbe Joseph: A Priest Fights Poverty

Abbé Joseph lives in central Africa. Since his ordination in 1994, he has volunteered with several poverty-fighting ministries. ChristianVolunteering.org helped connect him to the Neo-Catechumenal Way, a Catholic order of evangelists.

As a member of the Neo-Catechumenal Way, Abbé Joseph went to East Cameroon to evangelize the Pygmées and to assist in community development. "Volunteering is a great solution [for] poverty," he says. It is "a way for believers to [share] God's life and discover how others people are living their faith in towns and villages all over the world." He wishes everyone could have the volunteer experience which he had.
