Our MISSION is to help the church declare and demonstrate to the poor that Jesus Christ is making all things new.
Our VISION is to equip & aid local churches around our city to bring relief & development to the poor enabling them to overcome the obstacles associated with generational poverty, to come to know Christ and to live in community with a local church.

WHY PLACE THE LOCAL CHURCH AT THE CENTER?

Picture
  • The Local Church serves as the hands and feet of Jesus in a community. The church is where people encounter Jesus’ love and  the transforming power of God.
  • That is why we assess and provide training for local churches. Training that helps congregations recognize the brokenness that leads to poverty—and how Jesus’ power can restore that brokenness through the ministry of the local church.
  • The training we provide equips churches to connect with and walk alongside of people who are poor. In the process, churches affirm the dignity of the poor and empower them with practical skills.
  • As a result, people who are poor enter into community with the local church. They are enfolded into the family of God, experiencing spiritual, social, and material transformation.
  • That transformation is the reason everything we do begins and ends with the church. Even though the scale of poverty in our city can seem overwhelming God can and will break the bonds of brokenness and poverty when churches work together.
