Host a Helping Without Hurting Seminar

The paradigm-shifting book – When Helping Hurts – has caused many churches and ministry leaders to ask: What do we do next in our efforts to help people who are poor at home and abroad? How can we shift our efforts from dependency to empowerment? How can we get our entire ministry network on the same page?

In response, the co-authors of the book – Dr. Brian Fikkert and Steve Corbett of the Chalmers Center for Economic Development – are offering one-day, regional training seminars entitled: Helping Without Hurting: The Next Step.

These one-day events are divided into two sessions. The morning session gives an overview of the core principles of When Helping Hurts and is designed to get the entire ministry network (churches, ministries, board members, financial partners, and volunteers) thinking out of the same framework. The afternoon session is for practitioners who want to take the first steps in Asset-Based Development at home or abroad.
