Talking to your children about global issues like poverty can often feel daunting. It’s a complex topic that many parents shy away from, unsure of how to approach it in a way that is both age-appropriate and impacting. At Bright Hope, we believe that these conversations are crucial not only for raising awareness but also for developing empathy, compassion and a deeper understanding of God’s heart for the marginalized.
The Power of Conversation: Why It Matters
When children understand global issues, it opens their hearts to the needs of others and fosters compassion. Thoughtful discussions about poverty help them recognize hardships and discover the power of generosity, planting seeds of kindness, empathy, and a desire to make a lasting difference in their lives.
These conversations are a vital part of discipleship and growing to look more like Jesus each day. So, we have created a Poverty Conversation Starter to ignite meaningful discussions, inspire compassion and raise awareness within your family. Through these talks, we pray that you and your loved ones will grow closer to Jesus and develop a heart to create lasting, positive change.
