🌟 What an incredible day at the True Charity Summit! 🌟 The Chalmers team was honored to host a pre-conference intensive with nearly 100 passionate leaders joining us to Rethink Poverty: Pursuing Flourishing Together. From breaking stereotypes in relationships to creating sticky adult learning experiences, we dug deep into a biblical framework for poverty alleviation and practiced real-life application—all with a heart for mutuality, connection, and transformation. 👏 Huge thanks to everyone who joined us—your engagement, vulnerability, and energy made this day so rich.

In 2019, Living Water International began to shift their work from a solely well-centered approach to more sustainable, community-driven solutions. As they embraced a new model, they also reimagined their short-term mission trips. They integrated Chalmers' principles as part of their training, helping trip participants realized their role wasn’t to fix, but to listen, learn, encourage, and grow. "We used to ask communities 'How can we help?' Now, influenced by the Chalmers Center's insights, we enter with a different question: 'What can we learn?' That shift has been profound, allowing us to engage in ways that honor the dignity, strengths, and leadership of the communities we serve."
