Casselberry  \n## PRAISE FOR HELPING WITHOUT HURTING INSHORT-TERM MISSIONS\n\nOur world is rapidly changing,even in the way we do Christ-exalting missions!In this helpful book,the Chalmers Center has given us an insightful resourcethat will equip short-term mission teams to avoid pitfalls of crossing cultures,es-pecially for those embarking on communities challenged by poverty.Teams willbuild their capacity to learn well,honor partnerships,and maximize the goodthey wish to do by using this guidebook to help design their objectives with faith-ful presence,understanding,and humility.  \nJohn H.Sather |National Director of Cru Inner City  \nThis [curriculum]takes the best of the revolutionary work from When HelpingHurts and makes it practical for short-term mission teams traveling near and far.Ihighly commend this resource to you as a way to serve with cultural intelligence.  \nDavid Livermore,PhD |Author of Sering with Eyes Wide Open:Doing Short-TermMissions with Cultural Intelligence  \nBeing a community development organization that has sent thousands of peo-ple on short-term trips to developing countries over the years,we are thrilledto introduce Fikkert and Corbett's latest work as a relevant,vital resource forour staff and teams.It is our strong desire that every church,school,and NGOsending(or receiving)short-term teams would not only read this book,but studyit—critically evaluating the work being accomplished and applying its principlesto ensure teams are “helping without hurting.”  \nKurt Kandler|Executive Director of The 410 Bridge  \nIf everyone responsible for sending or receiving a short-term service team canwork through this resource-—and take seriously its recommendations—I have nodoubt that we will see the fruit in changed lives and stronger relationships withinthe global church.  \nBrian Howell,PhD |Professor of Anthropology at Wheaton College,author ofShort-Term Mission:An Ethnography of Christian Travel.Narrative and Experience  \nHelping Without Hurting in Short-Term Missions is one of the most useful guides onSTM in print....[When Helping Hurts]shaped the way compassionate peopleshould think about engaging the materially poor.This book guides the way forshort-term missioners to accompany the poor in real and lasting transformation.  \nDaniel Rickett,PhD |Cofounder of Coalition on the Support of IndigenousMinistries,author of Making Your Partnership Work  \nThere is no shortcut to living the incarnation among others in another culture.Anyone serious about truly helping will immediately see the value of this bookand be grateful to put it to good use.  \nScott Steele |Executive Director at Cherokee Gives Back Foundation  \nThese principles will help the church move beyond good intentions and towarda discipleship model that equips team members to become lifelong missionar-ies wherever they are,encourages partnership with local churches globally,andtruly helps advance the work of God globally.  \nJeff Ward |Director of External Focus at Watermark Community Church  \nWhat really sells me on these materials is that they address what to me is the\\#1question for STM participants:How do we make sure the two-week mission ex-perience turns into a long-term commitment both to the project we visited andto servingin the communities where we live?  \nKurt Ver Beek,PhD |Professor of Sociology at Calvin College  \nFinally,a short-term missions curriculum that gets it right!For too long churchleaders have known something is wrong with the way the church does short-termmissions,but not how to fix it.This book will change that.It starts with an hon-est appraisal of the mistakes we've been making but moves on to provide smartpractical tools to transform the way we do short-term missions.A must-read forany group that wants to do short-term missions right.Two thu","cbCairosORFkyuPx","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCairosORFkyuPx","pdf",4186614,132,"English","# PRAISE FOR HELPING
