We teach and train community, government and education leaders, human service organizers, business visionaries, and neighborhood dreamers, how to be much more effective by embracing the principles of CARE (Compassionate Accountability with Respect and Empathy) in their professional and personal lives.
Many government and private sector outreach programs employ what is known as a "deficit model" of working with people. That's where you focus on the problems (deficits) of a person, and then apply a set of pre-determined steps and treatments to address their issues. Many well-meaning professionals have used this method for decades, but it rarely works long-term because their clients don’t “own” the offered solutions. Therefore, they fail to break the cycles of recidivism due to faulty thinking and poor decision making.
Many of the old disciplines fail to address the inner limitations, biases, and unresolved personal struggles of the professionals who are trying to help people. They tend to assume that the ability to evaluate, assess and then implement a treatment is enough. However, our Searcher Education has revealed that a Helper must be able to take someone to higher emotional, intellectual, relational and spiritual heights.
Therefore, CARE-Readiness Training focuses on the Helper. These professionals are trained to be more spiritually aware and emotionally intelligent, so they can establish a relationship/ partnership that empowers their client; thus allowing the client to be part of the process in the discovery of the solutions that will work best. We are confident that Christ will be the ultimate solution that many will discover.
The CARE Readiness Discipline is based upon Philippians 2: 12b-13 (Amplified Bible). “…continue to work out your salvation [that is, actively pursue spiritual maturity] with awe-inspired fear and trembling [using serious caution and critical self-evaluation to avoid anything that might offend God or discredit the name of Christ]. For it is God who is effectively at work in you, both to will and to work [that is, creating in you the longing and the ability to fulfill your purpose].”
This Biblical passage reveals both the principles and practical application of CARE-Readiness, which insists on individuals pursuing spiritual maturity and walking through critical self-evaluation in order to avoid discrediting the name of Christ, even as God is giving them the strength and ability to do His work and fulfill their purpose.
