What is poverty? Is it just a lack of material goods or is it deeper than that? What does the Bible say about poverty?

Join us for a Helping Without Hurting Seminar where we will tackle these very questions and more. Through short videos, small and large group discussions, and input from local ministry leaders, you will explore topics such as:

Causes and definition of poverty from a Biblical perspective
Four relationships that are broken in each of us and the stages of change
When to use relief, rehabilitation, and development in ministry
Differences between needs-based and asset-based development

This seminar is ideal for church deacons, for the benevolence team, for missions leaders, and for anyone who has a burden to bring hope to the hurting. The seminar will be facilitated by Friendship House Roanoke using the materials of When Helping Hurts (Fikkert & Corbett).

We will meet in the Fellowship Hall of Rosalind Hills Baptist Church on Saturday, July 27, from 9 am to 2:30 pm. Registration includes lunch. Registration closes on July 25 at 10 pm.

This event is free to all thanks to the generosity of Rosalind Hills Baptist Church and Messiah Lutheran Church.
