Why Ministries Aren’t Improving: Outcomes Measurement in a “Wicked” World
Over decades, businesses continue to offer progressively better goods and services — but many nonprofits don’t ride the same wave of relentless progress. Despite a hidden challenge that makes that seem inevitable, there is a way to buck the trend.
Achieving Advantageous Outcomes with Self Assessments
Effectively assessing the circumstances of those seeking help is key to their long-term stability. True Charity’s client self-assessment survey will help you prioritize the dignity of the people you serve as you help them foster lasting change.
Respecting Agency and Truth in Relationships
Ministry leaders often navigate the tension between respecting an individual’s agency and upholding absolute truth, particularly when guiding those in poverty toward wise and moral choices. Effective mentorship requires balancing encouragement and accountability—listening first, celebrating progress, pointing to biblical absolutes, and respecting lived experience—all while allowing individuals to take ownership of their decisions.
