This is not a how-to manual. (it's a field guide)When we serve people who are materially poor, we often want the formula. We want to know, How can I help without hurting in this specific situation? In reality, there is no one-size-fits-all recipe. Each low-income person and community is unique. The good news is that there are key principles that do apply to every situation. And better yet, we are not alone: the Triune God is with us, guiding us each step of the way and actively working to accomplish His grand story of healing and restoration.This Field Guide builds on the ideas of Becoming Whole: Why the Opposite of Poverty Isn't the American Dream to unpack Ministry Design Principles developed over decades of observing, studying, and testing. No, these principles will not answer every single question, but they do provide valuable guidelines as you seek to live into God's story in your particular context.

This is not a how-to manual… (it’s a field guide)
We all want to know, "How can I help without hurting in this specific situation?" But there’s no one answer, and there’s definitely no short cuts, but there are key principles—or ministry design principles.
Think of these like the rules an improvising actor learns—the principles are crucial—but the actor must decide how to put them into practice based on the complexities of the situation.
This book contains and explicates 20 ministry design principles developed over decades of observing, studying, and experimenting. They’re in no way perfect, but they represent the very best ideas we have to date for how to do effective poverty alleviation in the kingdom of God.
