Helping the Poor

How to Help the Poor Without Hurting Them” – It is exciting to see many Christians being awakened to the biblical mandate to serve the poor. However, good intentions are not enough. Helping the poor requires a sound diagnosis of the causes of poverty so that appropriate remedies can be applied. In fact, if we are not careful, our efforts to help the poor can actually end up hurting them. This ministry training session will be taught by Dr. Brian Fikkert, Founder and Executive Director of the Chalmers Center for Economic Development at Covenant College. It will provide a biblical framework for thinking about poverty and will articulate sound principles that have proven effective in helping the poor both in the U.S. and abroad.
