Join Ismael Hernandez and learn the seven principles of effective compassion. With his presentation “Hope for the Inner City”, you can adopt and learn a new narrative of human flourishing instead of poverty alleviation. Offering assets-based solutions, utilizing faithful witnesses instead of hired hands or “saviors”. Often, the poor don’t need to be told how to fish, they just need you to get out of their way to the pond! Let us show you how to empower them.
Free admission, join the conversation.
“God has made us free and when the systems we create reflect our nature, people prosper.”
