Furthermore, scripture is clear that spirit-filled Christians have a duty to care for the poor, marginalized, and disenfranchised. For the modern-day church, these instructions can be simultaneously inspiring and intimidating: How do we carry out this incredible responsibility in an impactful, meaningful way? What does it look like practically in the day-to-day for the Church to engage the broken? How can we inspire our fellow congregants to get outside the four walls of the church to meet with those who are hurting?

Join True Charity Initiative for a webinar featuring Rick Rusaw, co-author of the popular book The Externally Focused Church, for an exploration of the Church’s unique role in community development and poverty alleviation efforts. Rick will draw on his years of experience as a pastor of a Colorado church to discuss how your congregation can shift from internally-focused activity to externally-focused impact. You can expect the following:

• Tips for meaningful collaboration between the church and other resources in the community
• Strategies for welcoming and building healthy relationships with isolated community members
• Ideas for shifting church benevolence from repetitive handout charity to developmental, relational charity

After the presentation, there will be an opportunity to engage Rick for a time of Q&A. True Charity Network members will receive exclusive on-demand access to the recording of the webinar.
