Study emphasizes progress in ending extreme poverty

By Jeff Schapiro

According to a new study, 93 percent of American Christians say they are concerned about global poverty, but many of them are unaware of the progress that has been made in the quest to eliminate poverty worldwide.

The study was conducted in September by the Barna Group, which surveyed 1,429 adults in the US with an oversampling of young Christians. The survey was commissioned by Compassion International, a Christian organization that ministers to over 1.2 million needy children in 26 different countries worldwide.
