Dear Friends,

Today, in our series on Alleviating Poverty, we’re exploring “The Attitude of Poverty.”

Have you ever wondered how your attitude toward the poor can change lives? Amid the complexities of our world, how we see the “poor in spirit” can make an incredible difference.

As I Care Outreach engages in the work of alleviating poverty—I believe there is a hidden invitation in a more meaningful way to understand poverty or even to seek to understand poverty.
Poverty is a shared human experience. Each of us wrestle with a sense of lack or incompleteness and neediness. Poverty exists in those parts of ourselves that are not what they could be… places we cannot repair through our own well-meaning resources and strength.

As I reflect on the instability within our communities. I am reminded that Christ-centered, practical life education, training, and service is a critical need to “tackle the shackles of poverty” while fostering spiritual connection, relationship building and community re-humanization.

In Luke 18:9-14, Jesus speaks of being “poor in spirit.” He tells a story of a Pharisee and a tax collector. The parable illustrates the difference between those who think they are spiritually connected and the “poor in spirit.”

Listen as I share some insights regarding alleviating poverty.

Pastor Robert M. Turner

Dear Friends,

I Care Outreach, Moving Through Podcast
November 2025: “Alleviating Poverty, Part 2”

“They all ate and were satisfied.” (Mark 6:42)

“In every crisis, the wisdom of God is on display.” We are continuing with our Fall “Moving Through Podcast” series on “Alleviating Poverty”.

In today’s podcast I will tell a story about an opportunity, a real life story for all of us to see Jesus inviting people to alleviate poverty. We see Jesus solve this crisis and gave the disciples a life practice task to take away.

I believe Jesus still places impossible tasks in front of us to see if we will bring the problem back to Him so His wisdom is put on display.

I Care Outreach understands the importance that education and training are problem-solving significant components that work within the transformational process to add new practices of life for alleviating poverty.

Listen to His story,

Pastor Robert M. Turner

I Care Outreach, Moving Through Podcast
October 2025: “Alleviating Poverty”

“Blessed are the poor in spirit, for THEIRS is the kingdom of heaven. (Matthew 5:1,2,3)

It is with gratitude and joy, in this changing season, we thank you for bringing beauty into the lives of many! Jessie and I want to say thank you for allowing us the space to pause this past summer as we worked through critical program restructuring for I Care Outreach’s expansion of community outreach focus, mission, and services.

This October we are beginning a new “Moving Through Podcast” series on “Alleviating Poverty”. In this fall podcast series, I will share the “why” I Care Outreach is joining God at His work in community, “Alleviating Poverty”.

In Matthew 5:1,2,3 we find Jesus, posturing himself with compassion giving the perfect course to alleviate poverty. It is an invitation for us to come to the table in community with curiosity, creativity and with a mindset of resolve to be a conduit of transformation and rise to the challenges.

I Care Outreach is strategically intentional about continually aligning ourselves to serve our participants, students, guest in equipping, teaching, training to rebuild their lives with a Christ-centered approach.

Listen as we share insights for understanding the context of ICO’s alleviating poverty pathway.

Pastor Robert M. Turner
