Redemptive Compassion Training
Required for Volunteers. Open to the Community.
Redemptive Compassion is a biblical framework that guides us in providing holistic help to those we serve. It is foundational to all aspects of Love INC and Transformational Ministries. Training content has evolved over 20 years of daily work with individuals facing life challenges that they cannot overcome on their own. Redemptive Compassion questions many conventional approaches to addressing need, built 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. As America faces critical times, the Church has an unprecedented opportunity to lead within our communities. The question is: are we ready? More importantly, will we understand and embrace what God has biblically called us to do when the opportunity arises?
