Resumen del Editor

Do you have a desire to help individuals in extreme poverty yet feel uncomfortable or uncertain about how to do it effectively? Countless well-meaning people and organizations have attempted to engage in efforts to alleviate poverty, but in most cases, the results haven’t matched their high aspirations and good intentions.

Sadly, far too many struggling with extreme poverty in our culture today have run out of resources and hope as a result of addiction, traumatic abuse or neglect, criminal lifestyles, reentering society from jail or prison, and growing up in generational poverty. A plethora of unique challenges come with ministering to someone in both material and relational poverty. As many have learned, without the right approach, it is possible to pour your heart out and invest considerable resources in vain.

In Change for the Poor, Mark McKnelly presents a restorative approach to transforming lives that is based on biblical principles and real-world experience. There is no need to be overwhelmed or deterred, for there is a way to restore lives with those in extreme poverty that is as fruitful as it is rewarding. Begin listening to Change for the Poor today and prepare to become a meaningful part of transforming lives—including your own—in a lasting way!

This encouraging, practical audiobook addresses:

• Adopting a restorative approach to helping those in extreme poverty
• Forming and investing in an authentic relationship with each participant being served
• Structuring time, goals, and environments to reshape participants’ mindsets and decision-making
• Taking a “wholistic” five-dimensional approach that holds participants accountable
