We will consider Servants to Asia’s Urban Poor as a model of how we can become Brother Suns and Sister Moons engaging the New Dark Age. Servants is a network of mission communities committed to living and working holistically with the poor ‘outside the gate’ in Asia’s urban slums. They have developed faith communities in India, Thailand, Cambodia, and the Philippines. They seek to do whatever they can to help the poorest of the poor – everything from developing informal networks of supportive relationships through to developing formal organisations delivering professional community services. Servants are a humble but important model
