Plunge2Poverty: An Intensive Poverty Simulation Experience

Plunge2Poverty is a guidebook to help group leaders plan a weekend event for students or adults to experience the real challenges and dilemmas of living in poverty. In this 42-hour “plunge,” participants give up their own possessions and comforts to become one of the poor from Friday evening through Sunday afternoon. This intensive experiential learning event challenges individuals and groups to face the harsh realities of poverty in the world and spurs action and compassion among believers.
