Could your best attempts at helping actually be hurting the poor?
We all want to help the vulnerable, but sometimes donating money, going on missions trips, or volunteering at soup kitchens does more harm than good. How can we avoid making the most common mistakes and turn our good intentions into tangible results?
At the Helping Without Hurting Conference, Dr. Brian Fikkert, co-author of When Helping Hurts: How to Alleviate Poverty Without Hurting the Poor, unravels fundamental and complex questions about poverty. With humour, candidness, and real-life examples Dr. Fikkert challenges the common assumption that poverty is about material possessions and reframes the issue in a way that invites us all to genuinely help.

"It completely changed the way I view the needs of the materially poor and how to get involved in the solution."
"It was humbling to consider how my own brokenness could unintentionally harm the people I intended to help."
"This stuff really is essential to being good stewards of God's resources as well as ministering to his under privileged children. Quite simply, it makes God's will less mystery and more practical love-in-action."
"This was another giant leap along the journey to understanding the issue of poverty. It was worth the 600 km trip to attend the seminar!"
"This seminar articulates how the kingdom of God is to be lived here on earth and our part in it." |
