Created to Flourish by Peter Greer & Phil Smith

"Created to Flourish" by Peter Greer and Phil Smith is a resource developed by HOPE International that delves into how meaningful employment can be a sustainable solution to poverty. This e-book and its accompanying study guide explore the Church's role in addressing poverty through employment-based strategies, emphasizing the dignity and God-given potential of every individual. The book advocates for a model of economic development that seeks to break the cycle of dependency often perpetuated by traditional aid.

Christian missionary teams interested in holistic poverty alleviation strategies can utilize this resource to deepen their understanding and approach to development. By integrating the principles from "Created to Flourish," teams can better engage with and empower communities in ways that promote self-sufficiency and respect the dignity of the individuals they serve. The study guide provided with the e-book can serve as an excellent tool for small group discussions or training sessions, helping teams to apply these concepts practically in their mission work.
