Mission Waco Poverty Simulation

It is Christ’s love and compassion that compel us to bring the Kingdom on Earth as it is in Heaven to the poor, widows, orphans, homeless, downtrodden, hungry, naked, lost, sick, lonely, forsaken, needy and broken. In doing this, we ourselves are healed.

In 1986, Jimmy and Janet Dorrell created the Poverty Simulation for a youth group whose youth pastor wanted to give them practical experience along with scriptural knowledge they could apply to their lives.

Almost 40 years later, the Poverty Simulation weekend continues to challenge adults, families and students to see the world through a different lens. Scripture and doctrine become real and alive for both students and leaders who participate in the program.
