You'll walk through 19 ministry design principles that every poverty alleviation ministry should think through. Whether you're just getting started or have been doing work for centuries, it will help you re-evaluate how to approach the everyday decisions of ministry. Get the practical help you need with the thoughtfulness you trust in A Field Guide to Becoming Whole.
