Jimmy Dorrell presents the topic "Wholistic Ministry" at the CCDA 2007 Conference.

Based on a biblical theology of ‘wholeness,’ it is important that Christians doing community development understand how to assess needs, develop programs, sustain funding, train staff, and evaluate efforts. This elective will focus on integrating faith and appropriate program development that addresses the holistic needs of people.

For 17 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. The workshop will
describe and give guidelines on how carefully
designed experiences confront many of
the myths about the poor during the guided
training. (Manuals of the Poverty Simulation
available for $10).
