When Helping Hurts

Randy has recently been taking some courses through the Chalmers Center. This all started shortly after the earthquake when evaluating what our organization was doing... really doing. As a result of this evaluation we, as well as those involved in CDIA, were encouraged to read the book When Helping Hurts by Steve Corbett & Brian Fikkert. This book is extremely challenging and thought provoking (we highly recommend it). After reading the book Randy signed up for some courses that are offered through the Chalmers Center. He was recently asked if they could use some of his thoughts for their monthly newsletter. To read the article in the Chalmers Center monthly newsletter click here.

Hey guys, thanks for the article you wrote for the Chalmers Centre. Ian has also been reading this book lately (Kristen and Hendrik brought it for us when they came). I hope to read it next! We know that there are (of course)things about our approach, mindset, church planting work that need to be evaluated in light of this book as well. May God continue to bless you and give you much wisdom. Nad and Ian
