The goal of this course is to help you do the type of work among the poor that honors God and helps you fulfill your desire to make the world a better place.
Our first lesson, A Brief Theological Reflection, provides a simple, practical theology for poverty work. We’ll talk about three themes that undergird why we do what we do.
Lesson two, Toxic Poverty Work, outlines the type of poverty work that naturally arises from our sinful nature. We’ll talk about what our work will produce if we do not practice self-awareness.
Lesson three, Redemptive Poverty Work, defines the goal of our activity. We’ll explore the three types of poverty work available to us and how our response to the work that Christ has done on the cross should aspire us towards redemption of lives and neighborhoods.
Lesson four, Rhythms of Life and Poverty Work, lays out the spirituality of The Great Tradition of the Church. World Impact invites you to implement these practices in your life to act as a countermeasure to toxic poverty work, as well as a catalyst to grow in your faith.
