FOR CHURCHES,
COPE is both a challenge and an invitation
- It is a challenge for churches to ultimately grow in Christian compassion.
- An invitation to move from simply managing poverty to engaging with with people relationally and redemptively.
COPE stands for Cost of Poverty Experience – and it’s exactly that: an experience, not just an event.
