Journeying with the Poor

Journeying with the Poor

In our journey with the poor, we are confronted with material objects we are attached to. We are challenged to ask, what is it we cannot live without? The goal is not to turn into rigid stoics, or Spartans who reject luxuries or extravagance. The goal is to find our freedom. Without a community, we can have no ministry. The gospel is not just about being saved to Jesus, it also means becoming part of a community, the people of God.Join Raineer Chu as he shares his experiences and stories from his own journey with the poor. –Includes Discussion Questions for Personal Reflection or Small Group studies.
