PRIMARY PURPOSE
For anyone trying to follow Jesus, the questions poverty asks us become unavoidable: What do we owe to the man on the street? How can we respond to the everyday suffering we see? How do people in poverty experience change? What does Jesus think about poverty? What kind of community is Jesus building? Is God near to the brokenhearted, and does he save the crushed in spirit? Where? How? These questions seem to us of deepest importance to the Church. During this next season, Chalmers will seek answers on the road and around the world, with organizations exploring what faithful actions look like in a changing world. From veterans of street ministry to women-led savings groups in West Africa, we'll discover what's working for people in poverty. Most of all, we'll search for the heartbeat of Christ in the lives of his disciples - and share their sustaining energy.
