  Helping Without Hurting In Church Benevolence

  $14.99

  The best way to serve the poor when they ask your church for help

  Jesus was generous, but he was also wise. When the blind beggar asked him for mercy, Jesus gave sight, not money; He knew what the beggar truly needed.

  The church desires to be like her Savior and give the poor lasting relief. But the issues of poverty are so complex that we often don’t know what to do.

  Steve Corbett and Brian Fikkert understand this well, and have written a tool to address this exact dilemma. Helping Without Hurting in Church Benevolence is a guidebook for walking with someone who approaches your church for financial assistance.

  Short and to the point, this tool provides foundational principles for poverty alleviation and then takes up practical matters, like:
  *How to make the gospel, prayer, and the Holy Spirit central in benevolence work
  *How to respond to immediate needs while still achieving long-term solutions
  *How to structure and sustain a benevolence ministry in your church

  With an appendix full of resources to guide implementation, Helping Without Hurting in Church Benevolence is an all-in-one guide for church leaders and laypeople who want to follow in Jesus’ steps -and truly help the poor among them.

  When Helping Hurts

  $15.99

  With more than 200,000 copies sold, When Helping Hurts is a paradigm-forming contemporary classic on the subject of poverty alleviation and ministry to those in need. Emphasizing the poverty of both heart and society, this book exposes the need that every person has and how it can be filled. The reader is brought to understand that poverty is much more than simply a lack of financial or material resources and that it takes much more than donations and handouts to solve the problem of poverty.

  While this book exposes past and current development efforts that churches have engaged in which unintentionally undermine the people they’re trying to help, its central point is to provide proven strategies that challenge Christians to help the poor empower themselves. Focusing on both North American and Majority World contexts, When Helping Hurts catalyzes the idea that sustainable change for people living in poverty comes not from the outside-in, but from the inside-out.
