ContactTaking the First Step
The Cost of Poverty Experience (COPE) is a lead tool that can be used to catalyze your church into deeper levels of understanding that facilitates meaningful engagement in ACTS. COPE provides real life scenarios of the challenges that families experiencing poverty are facing as well as citing examples of church and faith-based ministries that are working to impact poverty in their communities. COPE is a first step in the ACTS process.
