"The best community development or relief project in the world will come to a grinding halt if we don’t pour our energies into people."
— A CAMA Worker in Southeast Asia
PEOPLE DEVELOPMENT
We must pour our lives into the lives of others so that the Kingdom of God can be felt by as many as possible. People development is messy and time-consuming, yet it's vital.
It's not reproducing ourselves in others or thinking we are finished products. It's about helping people move toward becoming all that Christ intended for them to be.
OUR FOCUS: PEOPLE
The Outer Layer
Working within the cultural context, we seek to develop job skills like literacy, English, agriculture, sewing, accounting, and computer technology.
The Core
Through the work of the Spirit, we demonstrate and proclaim the truth of a Creator God who loves people unconditionally.
The Middle Layer
We're intentional about discerning people's natural gifts, then helping them to develop soft skills like leadership, communication, teaching, and problem solving.
