From the presenter - Rebekah Sumrall
As I served as the Site Coordinator/Executive Director of a Christian Women’s/Men’s Job Corp (Begin Anew), I was first introduced to Bridges as I read the book, What Every Church Member Should Know About Poverty.
In the coming months, I experienced firsthand how incorporating the concepts and skills into the ministry helped individuals and families break free from poverty and find hope for a better future. In the coming years, I pursued additional training from Bridges and experienced amazing results in the lives of the students. I knew God had led me to this training to equip me to lead a faith-based ministry that could truly help individuals and families break the chains of poverty,
For Christians who serve persons seeking to overcome the obstacles caused by poverty, this is the most comprehensive and useful guide available for helping ministries and churches understand and reach out to people in poverty. Packed with relevant resources and eye-opening insights, this one-of-a-kind volume supports your heart, mind, and spirit in your efforts to live your calling.
Bridges offers proven, practical, and innovative concepts which can be integrated into any program you are currently offering your students (participants). Applying these will increase motivation in your students and assist them to find hope and a path for a better future.
