Redemptive Compassion Training
Required for Volunteers
Redemptive Compassion is a biblical philosophy on how we can offer holistic help to those we serve. It is foundational to all aspects of Love INC and Transformational Ministries. Class content has evolved over fifteen years of working daily with people who find themselves struggling with needs in their lives and unable to overcome them on their own. Redemptive Compassion challenges many current and common ways of addressing need based upon six core principles:
1. See everyone's value
2. Invest relationally in others
3. Help everyone achieve their God-given potential
4. Require mutual contribution and participation
5. Respond with discernment and wisdom
6. Serve in ways that transform
"Need" will not change until we change how we address need. We are facing critical times in America, and the Church will soon have an unprecedented opportunity to step to the forefront of addressing need. Will we be ready when the time comes? And more importantly, will we understand what God has biblically called us to do when the opportunity arises?
