Biblical Foundations of True Charity
In this class, True Charity's Nathan Mayo shows how to bridge the gap from compassion to changed lives. It covers foundational concepts from the experience of seasoned poverty fighters and shows their origin in Scripture. This session is a wonderful resource for Christians – regardless of their occupation or role – who want to practice charity in a manner that aligns with God's intention.
The class covers:
- The true nature and root causes of poverty
- The responsibility of the Church to serve the poor
- The biblical mandate for service toward the poor that uses discernment and empowers rather than amplifying root causes
- The importance of honestly assessing the impact of our efforts
Good intentions are not enough. We have to accomplish God’s mission, God’s way! This course will help guide that work.
