World Impact Ministry Mobilization

What happens when church leaders are equipped to serve the communities they already know and love?

In San Diego, the answer looks like pastors walking neighborhood streets, building relationships over time, and faithfully serving people where they are. What started with one leader trained through World Impact is now growing into a movement of equipped leaders investing deeply in their community.

TUMI training is helping local churches raise up leaders who bring both truth and compassion to neighborhoods experiencing poverty.

In a world that celebrates productivity, it’s easy to lose sight of the people behind the work. Real transformation comes from presence, relationship, and walking with people the way Christ did, not from checking boxes.

If you’ve ever felt the tension between serving effectively and serving compassionately, Redemptive Poverty Work: Expanded Edition is a must-read. This book challenges the way we think about helping others and offers a more sustainable, Christ-centered approach to serving communities experiencing poverty.

Learn how to do the work without losing your soul in the process.

Most resources teach you how to do poverty work better.

Redemptive Poverty Work: Expanded Edition teaches you how to survive it without losing your soul.

This book confronts the hidden realities many ministry leaders never talk about:
• Savior Syndrome
• Functional Atheism
• Secondary trauma
• Burnout and numbness
• Carrying more than you were meant to carry

If you’ve been serving faithfully but quietly feeling hollow, cynical, or emotionally exhausted, this resource was written for you.
