Dear Friends,

Today, in our “Moving Through” podcast, listen as we share on “Replacing the Footprint of Poverty with Footprints of Hope.”

Many participants have walked through the doors of I Care Outreach Training Center carrying far more than a notebook, empty hands or a bag. They carried disappointment. They carried uncertainty. They carried failure.

They carried the weight of difficult heartbreaking circumstances, wrong choices and the quiet question: "Can my life really change?"

We see the footprint of poverty. Yet week after week. We also get to visualize something amazing. The “Footprints of Hope” beginning a new course in their lives.

We see what happens when hope begins to replace despair. They listen. They ask questions. They learn. They begin to practice. Slowly, their thinking, their actions and reactions began to change.

Because we believe every life matters and every person has value. Every individual deserves the opportunity to build a different future and walk a new path.

LIFE-Building is the intentional work of serving people to discover their God-given value, while helping them develop practical life skills, and become equipped to live sturdier lives, build stronger families, and reconnect to thrive in community.

We have this amazing responsibility to join a community of people in rebuilding and equipping them for new life!

Listen as I share. Blessed are the poor in spirit.

Pastor Robert M. Turner

Dear Friends,

Today, in our series on Alleviating Poverty, we’re exploring “The Attitude of Poverty.”

Have you ever wondered how your attitude toward the poor can change lives? Amid the complexities of our world, how we see the “poor in spirit” can make an incredible difference.

As I Care Outreach engages in the work of alleviating poverty—I believe there is a hidden invitation in a more meaningful way to understand poverty or even to seek to understand poverty.
Poverty is a shared human experience. Each of us wrestle with a sense of lack or incompleteness and neediness. Poverty exists in those parts of ourselves that are not what they could be… places we cannot repair through our own well-meaning resources and strength.

As I reflect on the instability within our communities. I am reminded that Christ-centered, practical life education, training, and service is a critical need to “tackle the shackles of poverty” while fostering spiritual connection, relationship building and community re-humanization.

In Luke 18:9-14, Jesus speaks of being “poor in spirit.” He tells a story of a Pharisee and a tax collector. The parable illustrates the difference between those who think they are spiritually connected and the “poor in spirit.”

Listen as I share some insights regarding alleviating poverty.

Pastor Robert M. Turner

Dear Friends,

I Care Outreach, Moving Through Podcast
November 2025: “Alleviating Poverty, Part 2”

“They all ate and were satisfied.” (Mark 6:42)

“In every crisis, the wisdom of God is on display.” We are continuing with our Fall “Moving Through Podcast” series on “Alleviating Poverty”.

In today’s podcast I will tell a story about an opportunity, a real life story for all of us to see Jesus inviting people to alleviate poverty. We see Jesus solve this crisis and gave the disciples a life practice task to take away.

I believe Jesus still places impossible tasks in front of us to see if we will bring the problem back to Him so His wisdom is put on display.

I Care Outreach understands the importance that education and training are problem-solving significant components that work within the transformational process to add new practices of life for alleviating poverty.

Listen to His story,

Pastor Robert M. Turner
