For seventeen years, Mission Waco has been mobilizing hundreds of middle class students and adults toward more compassionate involvement among the poor through its weekend Poverty Simulations and Out-of-Country Exposure trips. This workshop will describe how carefully designed experiences confront many of the myths about the poor during the guided mining.

Are the pressures of life in ministry overwhelming you? Are you looking for a life that is less SUBS? People in urban ministries often feel overwhelmed by the urgent needs of those they minister to. God does not want us to lead stressed out lives. Take a look at the life of Jesus and discuss the lessons we can learn from how he spent his time on earth. The rhythm of his life has important lessons for our lives today.
