  15. BUILDING HOPE – HOW CAN WE HELP? Some lifestyle changes that we can consider………. • Live within our means • Celebrate life • Give generously • Don’t keep what we don’t need • Pray lots • Make responses rather than give answers • Learn more about our world and become an agent of change • Change how we live – become net contributors rather than net consumers (reduce our consumer footprint)
