SUMMARY:How the Church Can Lead the Way in Mercy Ministry
DESCRIPTION:Date and time: Thursday\, February 19\, 12–1 pm Central\n\nGod’s Church is uniquely equipped to address poverty. More than any government program or social service agency\, the Church is able to respond to material needs in ways that are personal\, relational\, and rooted in love. Yet too often\, the Church underestimates its own calling and capacity. Rather than stepping into a position of leadership\, many congregations assume a supporting role in the fight against poverty. But Scripture tells a different story. \nIn this webinar\, Pastor George Grant will walk us through a biblical framework for mercy ministry drawn from Romans 12. Together\, we’ll explore how this passage—alongside the broader witness of Scripture—shapes the way God’s people are called to care for one another and meet tangible needs with wisdom and faithfulness. Attendees will leave with practical insights and actionable ideas for engaging in mercy ministry that does real good\, honors human dignity\, and cooperates effectively with other members of the Body of Christ.

SUMMARY:Helping Without Hurting in Generosity: A Donor's Guide to Effective Giving
DESCRIPTION:Date and time: Thursday\, January 29\, 6 pm Central\n\nAre you a donor to a nonprofit? This special webinar is designed just for you. \nAs Christians\, we recognize that faithful stewardship of God’s resources involves more than giving generously—it also means giving wisely. God calls us not only to open our hands but to direct His resources toward ministries and causes that align with His mission and bring lasting fruit. When we give well\, we participate with the Triune God in His ongoing work of renewal in the world. \nBut how can we discern where and how to give the Lord’s money most effectively? What criteria should shape our giving decisions? And how can we evaluate whether the ministries we support are truly fulfilling their mission? These questions don’t have quick answers or simple formulas—but biblical wisdom and practical guidance are available to help us steward our resources well. \nJoin Justin Lonas\, Senior Director of Foundational Products at The Chalmers Center (Covenant College)\, for this webinar geared towards donors who wish to increase the impact of their giving. Together\, we’ll explore a biblical framework for healthy generosity—one that emphasizes sustainable\, effective ministries that help people in material poverty experience lasting transformation. \nYou’ll also be introduced to Helping Without Hurting in Generosity\, a new video-based online training featuring 21 respected theologians\, pastors\, economists\, and ministry practitioners. This tool is designed to disciple and equip individuals\, families\, and church groups to pursue generosity that truly helps rather than harms—empowering a movement of effective Christian giving.

SUMMARY:Valuing All Expertise—Incorporating Lived Experience in Program Design
DESCRIPTION:Date and time: Thursday\, October 16\, 12-1 pm Central\nSpeaker: Marlo Fox\, Executive Director\, Think Tank\, INC\n\nWho do you picture when you think of an expert? Most of us value expertise—whether it’s earned through education\, professional experience\, or through our relational networks.

Discover why intellectual and relational knowledge are essential—and why lived experience is just as critical for designing effective programs. \nWe’ll discuss how to avoid token input and move beyond traditional feedback methods by designing solutions together from the very start. Learn practical strategies to meaningfully engage experiential leaders\, share ownership\, and unlock creativity and momentum where you’ve been stuck. \nWhether you’re a community leader\, nonprofit professional\, or changemaker\, this session will empower you to build more effective\, and credible initiatives—by valuing all expertise and designing together. \nDon’t miss this opportunity to reimagine how you work with your community—register today!

SUMMARY:MEMBER-EXCLUSIVE: Virtual Policy Forum: Advancing Poverty Solutions at City Hall
DESCRIPTION:This is a True Charity Network member-exclusive event. You can become a member here: Join the Network \n  \n\nIf you work directly with people in poverty\, your voice is essential in shaping policies that affect them. The most practical and powerful place to start is in your own community.\n\nYou’re more than an advocate. You’re a subject matter expert who sees the challenges of poverty up close. When city leaders hear your informed perspective and see your sincere desire to solve real problems\, they’re far more likely to view you as a trusted ally—not a critic or competitor. \n\nJoin us for our annual policy forum as we discuss proven strategies for influencing local policy at city hall. This event is for you if you’ve ever felt:\n\nDoubtful that your voice can shape local decisions\nIntimidated by the idea of engaging city leaders\nUnsure which city policies need your input\n\n\nYou’ll hear from Patrick Tuohey of the Better Cities Project\, who equips engaged citizens to drive municipal policy change that protects work\, housing\, and educational opportunities\, and more\, for all. \n\nThis Network member-exclusive forum offers both presentation and open discussion—so come ready with your questions\, insights\, and a willingness to engage. The format is longer than our typical webinar at 90 minutes\, and we will encourage “camera-on” discussion in the last half of the event. Together\, we’ll explore how we can drive meaningful policy change in our own communities.

SUMMARY:Reaching the Unsheltered Homeless: Tips for Impactful Outreach Programs
DESCRIPTION:Date & Time\nJun 26\, 2025 12:00 PM in Central Time (US and Canada)\n\n\nDescription\n\nHomelessness in the United States has reached historic levels across nearly all populations — including those experiencing unsheltered homelessness. As of 2024\, more than 152\,000 people live in chronic homelessness — one in three of the total homeless population\, and a 27% increase over the past 17 years. \nThe U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development defines “unsheltered homeless” as individuals whose primary nighttime location is a public or private place not meant for sleeping — including tents\, sidewalks\, vehicles\, and encampments. Despite increased shelter capacity and record-level funding\, the crisis continues to escalate. \nSo\, what can be done? \nAt the heart of long-term change is relationship — one that combines compassion\, discernment\, and challenge. In this webinar\, we’ll explore how relationship-based outreach can lead people from survival on the streets to a flourishing life. \nTopics include: \n-How to break through walls of mistrust to build genuine\, reciprocal relationships \n-Tips for assembling and training a team to engage with the unsheltered homeless \n-Strategies to encourage the use of local resources that promote stability and dignity \nOur featured speaker serves as the Evangelism Coordinator at Watered Gardens Ministries\, where she leads outreach efforts to connect with the unsheltered in her community. She brings firsthand insights\, practical tips\, and hope-filled stories from the front lines. \nJoin us for an honest and hopeful conversation on reaching the unreachable — and helping them find a path home.
