Ally Training
A significant part of our ministry is to offer training to people in our local partner churches. We want all volunteers in this ministry to be equipped to think rightly about poverty and to serve in ways that help the poor rather than hurt the poor. We use a resource for our Basic Training called: When Helping Hurts, How to Alleviate Poverty without Hurting the Poor... and Yourself.
This training is delivered in a 4 week video seminar hosted at one of our local partner churches and led by our ministry director. The cost of ally training is $35. We encourage each participant to purchase and read a copy of the When Helping Hurts book in order to gain a fuller understanding of the concepts. You may purchase it on Amazon using the link below the book cover image. Our next seminar is being held at Metairie Church on Severn on Saturday May 19th. Registration will begin around 8:30 am and the event is expected to end around 2:30pm. Lunch will be provided! |
