Steve Corbett and Brian Fikkert

Your “team” is all set to go and serve and share the good news of Christ.  Have you done this type of trip before?...What were the results?...You did really help them…right?? 

When Helping Hurts provides foundational concepts, clearly articulated general principles and relevant applications that keep you from common but faulty assumptions and strategies that do more harm than good.  Let this book teach you how to assess a situation for whether relief, rehabilitation, or development is the best response.  Read why efforts are often better characterized by an "asset based" approach rather than a "needs based" approach.  Short term mission efforts are specifically addressed and economic development strategies appropriate for North American and international contexts are presented, including microenterprise development. 

So stop wondering if the difference you are making is a positive one.  Read and apply When Helping Hurts and you can know you’re having an effective and holistic ministry to the poor!
