Empowering people to attack poverty
in their life & community
We have seen so much growth this year as we worked
diligently to cultivate the soil for human flourishing,
continually reminding people of their dignity as human
beings created in the image of God. That is the
foundation of what we do and who we are.
As Attack Poverty, we show up and expose assets in places
once labeled as deficient and offer a new lens though
which to view the world. We simply cultivate the
conditions where people can discover their God-given
capacities!
Through your faithful giving and our strategic programs,
our impact this year grew to reach almost 1,000 children,
over 600 adults, and countless families. Even more so, we
have more than doubled the number of volunteers with
over 2,200 people stepping up to serve!
We’ve had so many exciting milestones as an organization
this year! We designed and launched our very own
internship program called the Community Development
Leadership Program with 4 college students, and we’re
excited for this Spring’s group of interns. We have also
created a sustainable growth strategy along with some
important organizational functional improvements.
Upon completing our fourth year as an organization, we
see God’s goodness carried out by you in four different
communities, and we are in awe of the beauty of this
work. This year you have joined us as agents of
restoration knowing and believing that Jesus restores all
things! Thank you for all you do for those bravely
breaking the cycle of generational poverty.
Together, we are partnering with God to restore hope
and healing to the broken places where poverty has
ruled for generations. But we are turning the tables;
we are pushing back; and we are confronting the lies
that poverty tells as we seek the peace and prosperity
for the cities God has called us to.
As we walk toward our milestone fifth year together, we
are deeply grateful to have you by our side as partners
in community development. I pray this report of hope
and transformation, in Jesus name, makes clear the
powerful role you play!
With gratitude,

Seek the peace and the prosper-ity of the city to which I carried you into exile. Pray to the Lord for it, because if it prospers you
too will prosper.
