SUMMARY:Webinar: Helping Without Hurting in Benevolence Ministry
DESCRIPTION:When someone asks your church for financial assistance\, how should you respond?\nMany churches wrestle with this question in their benevolence ministries. Do you cut a check? Pray for them and send them on their way? We know there are no easy answers when it comes to effective poverty alleviation. However\, the right philosophy\, tools\, and supportive community can equip your congregation to get to root issues and walk in humble relationship with those you serve as you seek restoration– together. Join True Charity and The Chalmers Center\, the group behind the bestselling book When Helping Hurts\, as we discuss best practices for healthy benevolence ministries. We’ll talk about wise policies\, helpful tools your church can use\, and strategies for training mercy ministry volunteers on how to respond to requests.

SUMMARY:Webinar: Creating Effective Church and Nonprofit Partnerships
DESCRIPTION:It’s an unfortunate reality that churches and nonprofits frequently experience friction.\n  \nRelationships that could be mutually fruitful are instead dysfunctional\, transactional\, and untrusting. The good news is that it does not have to be this way! When churches and nonprofits commit to genuine\, mutually supportive partnerships\, a seismic shift in impact follows as they work together for good. \nJoin True Charity and Scott Harris\, Vice President of Church and Global Engagement at Mission Increase\, as we discuss the immense collaborative opportunities between churches and nonprofits. We’ll discuss ideas for working together synergistically to exponentially increase capacity and make a real dent in poverty. \n

Would your nonprofit be prepared for a legal battle if you declined to hire someone who did not adhere to your organization’s biblical beliefs? \nJoin True Charity for our webinar in partnership with The Alliance Defending Freedom\, the world’s largest organization committed to defending religious liberty. In this webinar\, we’ll explore the current religious liberty landscape and focus on how your nonprofit or church can create quality governing documents that will help defend your organization in the case of a legal battle. \n  \nHarrison Smith is the Senior Regional Alliance Director with Alliance Defending Freedom and has served there for 9 years. He works with major ministry and denominational leaders across the country on religious liberty issues to ensure that the body of Christ understands the current cultural and legal climate and knows how to respond via the resources available to them through the ADF Church Alliance. \n[/et_pb_text][et_pb_button button_url=”https://us06web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_Hbc6ImqeRYuAMA0ntlwcKg” button_text=”Register now” button_alignment=”center” admin_label=”Button” _builder_version=”4.14.7″ _module_preset=”default” custom_button=”on” button_text_size=”25px” button_bg_color=”#002336″ button_border_width=”8px” background_layout=”dark” global_colors_info=”{}”][/et_pb_button][/et_pb_column][/et_pb_row][/et_pb_section]

However\, welfare programs frequently penalize individuals who take steps toward stability – specifically by penalizing work and marriage. Fortunately\, there are tools to assist church and nonprofit leaders to help their clients understand and\, potentially\, avoid the pitfalls of the welfare system. \nJoin True Charity and Georgia Center for Opportunity for an exploration of GCO’s Welfare Cliff Calculator. You’ll leave this webinar armed with helpful information\, tools\, and strategies so you can confidently create tailored plans that genuinely help your clients succeed. You will also leave better prepared to advocate for reforming a system that is trapping too many of the people in poverty you serve. \n  \nEric Cochling serves as Chief Program Officer and General Counsel at Georgia Center for Opportunity\, managing GCO’s programs and providing legal guidance to the organization. He has played an instrumental role in the development of GCO’s Welfare Cliff Calculator\, a tool designed to help low-income individuals and those who serve them navigate a smooth transition off welfare. \n[/et_pb_text][et_pb_button button_url=”https://us06web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_AcIKXZHaSvOqWZqSdax85w” button_text=”Register now” button_alignment=”center” admin_label=”Button” _builder_version=”4.14.7″ _module_preset=”default” custom_button=”on” button_text_size=”25px” button_bg_color=”#002336″ button_border_width=”8px” background_layout=”dark” global_colors_info=”{}”][/et_pb_button][/et_pb_column][/et_pb_row][/et_pb_section]

Learn how an “earn-it” model of charity can awaken a person’s sense of self-worth and set them on a path toward flourishing\, and see the ways different charities have put this into practice.\nFreedom – Can charity be enslaving? Yes\, for both the helper and the helped– misguided charity can produce paternalism for the former and dependence for the latter.

In theory\, that common vision is a uniting force. In practice\, however\, division runs rampant between organizations with similar goals. If left unchecked\, pride and greed can crowd out the humility and generosity necessary for effective collaboration across organizational lines. How can we combat division in order to see more success in our common mission? \nJoin the True Charity Initiative and Peter Greer\, President and CEO of Hope International\, for an exploration of unifying principles as outlined in his book Rooting for Rivals. We’ll not only learn why collaboration is necessary for advancement\, but how it can be done in a way where everyone wins. \nPeter Greer is the president and CEO of HOPE International\, a global Christ-centered economic development organization serving throughout Africa\, Asia\, Latin America\, and Eastern Europe. As an advocate for the Church’s role in missions and alleviating extreme poverty\, Peter has co-authored 15 books\, including Rooting for Rivals (selected as a 2019 Leadership Resource of the Year in Outreach magazine)\, Mission Drift (selected as a 2015 Book Award Winner from Christianity Today)\, and The Spiritual Danger of Doing Good (selected as one of the top 40 books on poverty by WORLD magazine). \n[/et_pb_text][et_pb_button button_url=”https://us06web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_UrXp3TXeSt-_I-Y9nnxyGQ” button_text=”Register now” button_alignment=”center” admin_label=”Button” _builder_version=”4.14.7″ _module_preset=”default” custom_button=”on” button_text_size=”25px” button_bg_color=”#002336″ button_border_width=”8px” background_layout=”dark” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” sticky_enabled=”0″][/et_pb_button][/et_pb_column][/et_pb_row][/et_pb_section]

Why? Because they knew that the real vehicle for transformation of circumstances was through relationship. \nSo often\, though\, our poverty alleviation strategies sure look a lot like tongs: with the best of intentions\, we load people up with food or clothing and send them on our way. But perhaps the real act of mercy more often looks like a willingness to walk alongside the person in poverty on his path and help find the way to smoother trails. But what does it look like to “walk alongside” someone in poverty? Where does one even begin? \nJoin the True Charity Initiative on Tuesday\, August 9th 12-1 pm CST for a panel discussion featuring nonprofit leaders who prioritize relationship-building and have built successful mentoring programs. They’ll share how to get a mentoring program started\, best practices for creating real relationships\, and “lessons learned” along the way. \n  \n[/et_pb_text][et_pb_button button_url=”https://us06web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_jWxvr-E8S6Glfe7yLnXzFQ” button_text=”Register now” button_alignment=”center” admin_label=”Button” _builder_version=”4.14.7″ _module_preset=”default” custom_button=”on” button_text_size=”25px” button_bg_color=”#002336″ background_layout=”dark” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” button_border_width=”8px” sticky_enabled=”0″][/et_pb_button][/et_pb_column][/et_pb_row][/et_pb_section]

Indeed\, research has shown that the poor tend to be disconnected from family\, friends\, neighbors\, and community\, wreaking havoc on their health and stability and hindering their path out of poverty. This suggests that perhaps the foremost act of charity should be kindling a connection with those in need– but many are hesitant. How do you break the ice? How do you balance encouragement and confrontation? What if there are difficult root issues at play? \nJoin the True Charity Initiative for in-depth training on mentorship across two evenings – Sunday July 17 and Sunday July 24th from 10:45 -11:45 am\, hosted by Christ’s Church of Oronogo. We’ll equip attendees with practical tips and tools that can help you confidently develop real relationships with those in need. If you understand the value of embedding those in need in a loving community but struggle to know how to take the first step\, this training is for you! \nYou will learn: \n\nFeatures of a healthy mentoring relationship\nThe importance of promoting self-sufficiency\nTechniques for evaluating and goal-setting\nTips for navigating tricky areas such as confrontation\n\nThere is no required fee for this training but we appreciate you registering below so we know how many workbooks to supply. A small donation at the door is encouraged for your materials. \n  \n[/et_pb_text][/et_pb_column][/et_pb_row][/et_pb_section]

We’ll explore how prudent action\, rooted in accurate information brought about by observation\, investigation\, and communication\, is essential to effective charity\, and explore tools that can help us do just that.\nExchange – The duty to honor a person’s dignity and capacity is as delicate as it is vital. Learn how an “earn-it” model of charity can awaken a person’s sense of self-worth and set them on a path toward flourishing\, and see the ways different charities have put this into practice.\nFreedom – Can charity be enslaving? Yes\, for both the helper and the helped– misguided charity can produce paternalism for the former and dependence for the latter. Together\, we’ll reimagine how charity can preserve a person’s vital freedom rather than diminish it.\nGod – We’ll dive into the research demonstrating the crucial difference that faith makes in a person’s journey out of poverty\, on the part of both the helper and the helped.\n\n\n\n\n\n[/et_pb_text][et_pb_code _builder_version=”4.14.7″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]\n      \n        \n      \n    [/et_pb_code][/et_pb_column][/et_pb_row][/et_pb_section]

SUMMARY:Measuring Outcomes: Lessons From the Front Lines

Even if you’re not familiar with this phrase\, you’ve doubtless felt it: it’s the constant pull felt by the mountain of small tasks and unending checklists. And\, if left unchecked\, the urgent things can cause well-meaning nonprofit and church leaders to neglect mission-critical components such as vision\, strategy\, and program/process improvement. \nBut well-structured\, effective programs require intentional checks “under the hood”– what’s working? What’s not? How can you tell? Measurement of long-term results such as employment\, education\, stable housing\, and family reunifications can guide this important process– but where does one even begin in measuring progress in those key areas? \nJoin the True Charity Initiative and Better Together on June 14th from 12-1 pm CST for a candid discussion on outcomes measurement. Megan Rose\, CEO of Better Together\, will present on this important topic\, using her own experience and “lessons learned” from  measuring outcomes at Better Together. If you’re part of a poverty-fighting charity or nonprofit\, make sure to join us for lively discussion on how to effectively measure impact! \n  \n[/et_pb_text][et_pb_button button_url=”https://us06web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_EW348cpGSG2nrF3MZobFKw” button_text=”Register now” button_alignment=”center” _builder_version=”4.14.7″ _module_preset=”default” custom_button=”on” button_text_size=”25px” button_bg_color=”#002336″ background_layout=”dark” global_colors_info=”{}”][/et_pb_button][/et_pb_column][/et_pb_row][/et_pb_section]

SUMMARY:Lunch and Learn: The Christian Vision of the Person and Society

From our intricate bodily systems\, to our nuanced emotions\, to our precise likes and dislikes and unique personality traits\, humans are a profound display of detailed complexity. But why does that matter? How can we harness the varying personalities\, capacities\, and talents of people to foster a flourishing society? \nJoin the True Charity Initiative Thursday\, June 9th from 12-1:30 pm for a Lunch and Learn on Christian anthropology. We’ll discuss a biblical view of the unique characteristics and roles of the human person and explore how that ultimately informs our views about everything else\, from economics to government to charity. We’ll have compelling discussion on how our charity work can reflect the dignified nature of the human person. Suggested donation for lunch is $5. Seating is limited\, so reserve your spot today! \n[/et_pb_text][/et_pb_column][/et_pb_row][/et_pb_section]
