      Praise for the Poverty Cure Series & the ReThink Missions Toolkit

      I would like short-term teams to understand how to ask questions. Questions always are the best way to support urban communities. Ask questions, build relationships.

      Oye Waddell, Executive Director, Hustle Phoenix

      Hope International is thrilled to partner with PovertyCure in engaging in a conversation about how we maximize the impact and effectiveness of short-term missions.

      Peter K. Greer, President & CEO of Hope International

      We are using the PovertyCure Curriculum to begin a global conversation with students so when they go back to their homes and local churches, they’re thinking and asking the right questions that will lead them to what God wants them to do.

      From the Executive Publisher

      When I was 17 years old, I went on a two-month mission trip to Romania. This was my second trip to Romania and my fourth mission trip as a teen. We did a lot over those two months, ranging from performing dramas in public parks to volunteering at orphanages. Towards the end of those two months, I remember wrestling with two questions while in prayer, What is really different because of me?, What did I do that will have a lasting impact? These questions weighed heavily on my heart. Shortly before I was supposed to leave, I was approached by a young man who worked on the vocational school grounds where we had been staying in Timisoara, Romania. Through a translator, with tears in his eyes and excitement in his voice, he began to share a story I will never forget. He told me how he had viewed Christians as hypocrites, who didn’t seem any different than anyone else. He wanted to tell me that he made a commitment to Jesus Christ and that his mom wanted to come to Church because of how different he was. He said it was because he was watching my life that summer. He told me how much it meant to him that I talked to him everyday, attempted to talk to him in my broken minimal Romanian, and that I developed a friendship with him.

      It meant the world to me that God allowed this new brother in Christ to share this story to show that God had a plan for how to use me that summer. I had my plans, all the things that I did with my team, but I felt that God wanted to teach me that I might never know the impact that I might have for his Kingdom. He taught me that I need to faithfully create opportunities for God to use me in the lives of others, and consistently rethink my approach to anything I do. I realized that my presence there created the opportunity for God to show up in unique ways. When we go to new areas to serve, we need to be present for God to work, knowing that we most likely will see people in living in material and spiritual poverty. However, we can’t forget that God has an agenda for us as well, and He has plans to use the
