Jesus’ approach to people is counter-intuitive, even shocking. Instead of the King of all consorting with rulers and dignitaries, He preferred to spend his time with those that nobody else wanted to be with – let alone touch. As we, the ‘At Risk’ People Issue Group of the Lausanne 2004 Forum for World Evangelization have worked together, we have been discovering that this teaches us a great deal: about those whom Jesus values most in his Kingdom and, invitingly, how we can come close to Him through our own association with those same people today. It is these people, the ones that are shunned by society and are considered to have no potential to benefit society, whom we call ‘at risk’ in this Paper.
