Abstract

This project examines the biblical mandate, Wesleyan models, and contemporary thoughts on how Christians are to be in ministry with the poor. Circles, a program of Move the Mountain, initiates changes in the community that result in eliminating barriers to economic stability. The Circles model partners families in poverty with United Methodist church members so they can work together to end poverty. This project compares the socio-economic condition of the families in poverty prior to enrollment and six months later. Interviews and surveys show how misconceptions about the poor are dissolved, friendships are created, and goals are achieved.
