WORLD 305 - Engaging Poverty: Seeking Shalom

  • WMB Church - Waterloo Site 245 Lexington Rd Waterloo Canada (map)

What is the best way to fight poverty?  Is it by giving people the material goods that they need?  Or is it by listening to what people have to say and to empower? Reminding people that they are God’s image bearers and to work towards long term health? 

Seeking Shalom is a 6 week course that will help us evaluate traditional charity models and consider something different.  Video resources created by Christian community development organization Focused Community Strategies will guide our learning.  Full cost per person is $50.  Please pay what you can between $25-50.  Further subsidies are available upon request.   Class dates Thursdays, October 26 to November 30, 7-pm.
