Bridges Out of Poverty and the local church are a perfect match. The church represents the largest volunteer force on the planet, and Bridges Out of Poverty gives churches a practical tool that helps inform their understanding of poverty and ultimately reframe their volunteer work with the poor beyond simple charity and short-term fixes. Significant Matters and its Missions 3.0 Framework help churches rethink and reframe the way they do missions. Through workshops, peer learning communities, and SATtalks connecting churches to a network of peers, partners, and resources, Significant Matters is committed to more effective missions. Bridges Out of Poverty and Missions 3.0 are finding synergy as they begin to partner together.
