About Created to Flourish

A call to carry Christ's love to families around the world, this practical book offers a clear plan to help Christ-followers translate their compassion into thoughtful action. Created to Flourish examines the pitfalls of traditional approaches to charity and outlines a new model of economic development aimed at breaking the cycle of dependency. Phil Smith—founder of the Eyewitness Bible Series—and Peter draw on their personal experiences to discuss proven solutions for effectively alleviating poverty.

Through discipleship-based savings groups and loans, families in poverty are employing their God-given talents to provide for their families and serve their communities. With photographs showcasing the dignity of clients from around the HOPE International network, this book provides straightforward guidance for individuals and groups eager to carry God’s justice, mercy, and compassion throughout our world.
