Mark of Effective Charity #2: Bonding

The first step in practicing true charity is to seek to reconnect people to their affiliations (Mark #1). But what happens when there are no connections left? What do we do when a person is truly alone?

During the course of this lesson, you will learn how to create an environment that fosters sincere, caring relationships, as well as explore the difficulties of relationship building.

You will also meet and get to know Stephen through a recorded interview with James Whitford, Co-Founder and CEO of Watered Gardens Gospel Rescue Mission.

Addicted, alone, and with nowhere else to turn, Stephen came to Watered Gardens in Joplin, Missouri to enter a program known as The Forge, Center for Virtue and Work, a 15-month recovery program for men with a focus on character development and work skills.

You will discover, as Stephen did, that the most important element to Stephen's recovery was not the classes he took, but rather the relationships he developed.
