This new six part course from Church Action on Poverty aims to bring Christians together to talk, think and pray about the struggles that local people may have because of having little money. It looks at how the Bible and faith in Jesus guides us to respond to these issues.
The course uses Ken Loach’s film I, Daniel Blake to inspire conversations and apply scriptural insights to everyday life issues relating to socio-economic deprivation.
It is aimed at anyone who is passionate about sharing Jesus through what we say and how we serve others in our local community.
Aims of the course are:
- To help churches begin to open up the topic of local poverty, by creating a
safe place to talk about our own experiences of poverty with one another. - To think together about issues of local poverty affecting our lives and
others’ lives here and now that are specific to where they are. - To equip churches to pray meaningfully and in a life-transforming,
kingdom-oriented way for the poverty within our community. - To enable churches in time to practically take their place in serving those
who find themselves living in situations of poverty in the community.
You can download the Transforming Poverty course from the Church Action on Poverty website.
