We believe work is a part of God's identity, and He gave us work as a gift to continue His creation, live out our unique calling, and worship Him. Work has value and the power to heal. We need to make a shift in the way we view our work. Work isn't simply about what we do, it is also about who we are and created to be.
And with recent unprecedented economic uncertainties, unstable unemployment rates, job uncertainty and complacency as a result of the pandemic, the need for people to discover the dignity of work is more critical than ever before.Since January, we have equipped more than 100 leaders to take Jobs for Life back to their communities. Our goal is to equip 100 more this year.To do so, we must engage visionary leaders who desire to see their communities transformed. Your gift will support us in doing just that!

We believe God created everyone to work.
He designed all of us with gifts and talents to subdue and steward the earth through work.
We find our purpose, meet our economic needs, and worship God through our work.
However, 6 million people are unemployed, 22 million are underemployed, and 80% of workers are disengaged.
There are personal, educational, and systemic barriers that prevent some of our neighbors from working or thriving at their jobs.
We believe there are solutions to these problems, and we believe it takes each of us taking part in our own communities.

For years, the Church has been engaged in the fight to break this cycle of poverty.
A majority of the Church's effort and resources for those in need however, begins with food, housing, and clothing.
At the bottom of the list is work.
But without employment, and the means to actually provide for themselves and their families, the cycle continues.
So what if we flipped the list and equipped churches to start helping their community find meaningful work?
What if we started lending a hand instead of just a handout?

Real transformation through JfL cannot be done without a group of people-a community- joining together to help men and women experience the dignity of work.
This community consists of businesses and non-profits, to investors, volunteers, and students.
From leading and participating in a JfL class to investing resources and hiring JfL graduates, each level of involvement is crucial in our mission to engage and equip the Local Church to address the impact of joblessness through the dignity of work.
