COMMUNITY FLOURISHMENT

The fulfillment of God’s unique purposes for individuals and includes the dimensions of relationship with God, self, and others while living an integrated life of one’s passions and gifts to contribute to God’s Kingdom.

Attack Poverty uses a wholistic approach to community development. We long to awaken potential and provoke transformation so that voices are heard, individuals empowered, and communities made whole by offering a hand up through programs that empower individuals to take transformative action in their life that will lead to flourishment.

THE ROAD TO

The Attack Poverty Podcast

In 2021, we set out on a journey to measure transformation. After a year of researching, gaining insight, and having conversations with other non-profits and stakeholders, we decided to launch the Road to Flourishment podcast to share what we have learned and invite others to come alongside of us as we all try to empower others to go from surviving to thriving.

Buckle up and join us on the road to flourishment as we make a few rest stops along the way to learn from each other!

Brandon Baca | CEO

Marty Imper | Director of Monitoring & Evaluation

UNDERSTANDING
FLOURISHMENT

The first rest stop on the Road to Flourishment is understanding flourishment. In these 4 episodes, we discuss Attack Poverty’s definition of human flourishment and the ways we have set out to measure the transformation and community flourishment that is taking place in the communities we get to serve.
