An afternoon break-out session will be led by co-author Steve Corbett.   Register now!    What to Expect Engage with the core principles of When Helping Hurts along with its authors. The morning session of the day gives an overview of the core ideas of the book and the afternoon sessions give you the opportunity to learn more about how you can practically help the poor in North America and the Majority World. Reconsider how you help the poor and be encouraged in how your church or ministry can practically move forward in empowering those whom you help.   Learn More View a 3 minute video about the seminar by Brian and his co-author, Steve Corbett.  View the Helping Without Hurting Seminar webpage.    Who Should Attend Pastors, elders, and deacons Church ministry leaders and volunteers: mercy ministry, benevolence committee leaders, food pantry volunteers Missions committee members Missionaries and short-term missions teams  Relief and development agency staff Christian business people interested in microfinance and microenterprise development Christian donors thinking strategically about their generosity toward agencies helping the poor internationally and locally  Register now!     We hope to see you May 12th in Portland!   In the fellowship of Christ,   Katie Jo Ramsey The Chalmers Center for Economic Development
