God Weeps, God Laughs, God Dreams: A Vision for the End of Poverty
By Pastor Ron Hockley

God’s vision is the total eradication of poverty on earth: No more destitute people, no more hungry kids; no hopelessness or despair.  But we’re not there yet. 
One in six of our global neighbors is desperately poor.

During this Eastside series you’ll be invited to join God in his weeping, his laughing and his dreaming about the poorest of the poor.  We’ll explore the harsh reality of poverty.  We’ll study the key biblical principles on the subject.  We’ll describe Eastside’s vision of hope for the poor and share practical ways you can make a difference.
 


 


 

Statistics about poverty fail to capture the heartache and anguish endured by the people trapped in it.  During this collage of personal stories you will be challenged to let your heart break by the things that break God’s heart and to weep when he weeps.

Jesus came to earth with vision and anointing to redeem the poor.  He brings good news for them: freedom, recovery, release and restoration.  His presence signals the Kingdom of God, where mourning is turned to dancing, sadness to joy and scarcity to plenty.
