What if our ministries and organizations hurt the poor more than they help? Understanding Poverty gives you practical, real-world support and guidance to improve your effectiveness in working with people from low socio-economic backgrounds. The training puts forth a theological foundation to concepts about poverty (What is the cause of poverty? Who are the poor?), to principles (What is our responsibility as Christians?), to strategies (How can we help the poor domestically and internationally?) Whether you have been working with the poor for years or you are just interested in gaining some more knowledge on the subject, a Understanding Poverty will powerfully transform your understanding of how Christians can best serve the poor.
