Introduction:
“Don’t look out only for your own interest, but the interests of others, too” Philippians 2:4, NLT. Paul encouraged the cosmopolitan city of Philipi to guard against selfishness and malice, and show others the enduring love of Christ through Hesed. Controversy over globalization is centered around job opportunities lost or gained to outsourcing.

Population has grown over 300% since 2001 indicating that Africa’s gross domestic product (GDP) also grew to match the growth. Although the cost of living is still at poverty level by American standards, the percent of economic increase shows growth.
