I Care Outreach works to alleviate poverty through educating and directing the economically vulnerable toward sustainable finances, work, and housing, to strengthen individuals and families. The education platform is designed to meet and join individuals and families in their journey toward long-term hope and lifelong transformation.

Alleviating Poverty: “The Attitude of Poverty"

Dear Friends,
Today, in our series on Alleviating Poverty, we’re exploring “The Attitude of Poverty.”
Have you ever wondered how your attitude toward the poor can change lives? Amid the complexities of our world, how we see the “poor in spirit” can make an incredible difference.
As I Care Outreach engages in the work of alleviating poverty—I believe there is a hidden invitation in a more meaningful way to understand poverty or even to seek to understand poverty.
Poverty is a shared human experience. Each of us wrestle with a sense of lack or incompleteness and neediness. Poverty exists in those parts of ourselves that are not what they could be… places we cannot repair through our own well-meaning resources and strength.
As I reflect on the instability within our communities. I am reminded that Christ-centered, practical life education, training, and service is a critical need to “tackle the shackles of poverty” while fostering spiritual connection, relationship building and community re-humanization.
In Luke 18:9-14, Jesus speaks of being “poor in spirit.” He tells a story of a Pharisee and a tax collector. The parable illustrates the difference between those who think they are spiritually connected and the “poor in spirit.”
Listen as I share some insights regarding alleviating poverty.
Pastor Robert M. Turner
