The Pan-Methodist Commission recognizes how difficult it is for congregations to develop specific ideas about how to care for children in poverty. However, such involvement often starts with an individual who is committed to a particular cause. When one person unites with others, they can begin ministries that powerfully impact the lives of children. The following pages contain the Campaign for Children in Poverty’s “Faith in Action” possibilities. These action possibilities are to assist churches in exploring how they can be responsive to children in need.

Resources are offered for churches to begin to care and nurture children. Every church and every seminary can do something to nurture and to advocate on behalf of children at risk to poverty.
