TARRP: From Charity to Changing Lives
April 9th
John Stewart UMC
130 W. Johonson St., Upper Sandusky 43351
Enabling others is part of the disadvantage of charity. Learn how to move beyond enabling to help improve and change lives. Dr. Mike Linger will present how toxic, demeaning, and dependent charity can be and how the House of the Carpenter helps with immediate needs, yet moves people beyond receiving basic charity toward changing lives. Rev. Debra Ketcham will also share a format which has improved and changed lives in amazing ways.
Each participant will come away with specific ways to shift away from charity to being 'change agents' which improve lives. Cost is $20.00/person or $15.00/per person with three or more from the same church/charge.

When children have been through trauma-high risk/high stress pregnancies or births, time in the NICU, childhood illnesses, divorce, exposure to violence, abuse, learning disabilities, insecurities, emotional disturbances and more-they struggle to trust and find safety. This impacts their behavior in the home, school, and community.
Our role is to connect with children in healthy ways that help them heal and grow into the people God created them to be.

A ministry aimed at putting Christian literature and Bibles into the hands of people around the world. Christians all across the USA - people just like you - send us Bibles, Sunday School materials, books, etc. We send them to ministries in many poor countries to distribute freely to people hungry for the Word of God. These are materials that would have sat collecting dust on shelves or been thrown away. Now it's being used to reach souls for Christ, encourage and build up the Church, and the raising up and training of leaders to shine the light in dark places. Our Mission: Love Packages exists to glorify God through the distribution of the Word of God to hungry hearts throughout the world. See more information.
