Living Intentionally: Perspectives On Poverty

Episode Notes

2019 CCDA National Conference — Dallas Workshop

Living Intentionally: Perspectives on Poverty — Elia Moreno

This workshop teaches how to build relationships and strengthen interactions with those living in emotional and economic poverty. Educating practitioners about the diverse perspectives of people who live in poverty is essential for CCD ministry. Attendees are invited to explore the diverse types of poverty, homelessness, and communication theory, as well as how different lived experiences influence the people we serve. Walk away with a different filter for addressing poverty: a filter without blame or judgment that allows you to better connect with people living in the lines of poverty.
