Why Is My Baby So Hungry?

In the introductory chapters, she draws upon her own experiences overseas and comments on the mistakes she has made and how they can be prevented through best practice. Next, Butrin outlines methods for assessing communities through identifying the resources individuals possess, the needs of the community, and strategies for meeting those needs through meaningful partnerships with the local people. She asserts that our view of poverty directly relates to how we act in compassion and if we view it only as material deficit than our work will never truly alleviate poverty. The church should play a large role in this entire process because proclamation of the Gospel is a vital component of holistic ministry. Only God can bring true transformations to communities and people. If the message of salvation is absent from efforts towards justice than we have barely scratched the service and are responding to the external as opposed to addressing the root causes. The text concludes with decisive commentary on applying the principles of best practice to all

CHICAGO, ILLINOIS (June 26th and 27th)—Evangelists Reinhard Bonnke and his ministry, Christ for All Nations (CfaN), along with Evangelist Daniel Kolenda, recently held a two-day crusade at the Allstate Arena in Chicago, Illiniois. The crusade hosted more than 18,000 people despite rain and various other obstacles. The Planetshakers worship team from Australia fired up the crowd to kick off the crusade, and at the end of each night, Bonnke appealed to the multitude to “Say YES to Jesus!” to which over 2000 individuals responded, accepting Christ as their Lord. Shortly following the altar call, Evangelist Daniel Kolenda prayed for

For this mission trip I will be traveling to Puerto Nuevo, Mexico with nine other people to help fill a small orphanage with the necessary supplies they will need. While doing this we want to spread the Word of God to the children and workers of the orphanage. We will be focusing on those are eighteen and younger, and will be making sure we give them an abundance of supplies, so the orphanage can use the supplies we give them for years. Once we fully supply the orphanage, we will be there for the children. We want to make them feel safe in an unsafe environment and introduce God into their lives to let them know that he will always be watching over them.

After a massive earthquake devastated Haiti in 2010, forcing many Haitians to live in unfathomable conditions, and I felt called to help them. I recall sitting in my elementary school classroom, watching live footage of the trauma in Haiti, asking myself how I could help. It wasn’t until my junior year of high school that someone in my church provided me with the perfect opportunity to serve the Lord and Haiti. They told me about “Mission Discovery,” an organization that works to help Haiti and other impoverished countries.

As he addresses extensively the subject of evangelism, it appears that Fay is very confident that is book is well needed due to the “sin of silence” that has gripped the Church and the body of Christ, in general. He has a powerful style that uses examples from his personal life and experiences to shows his reader that it is easy to share the Gospel. He also uses witnessing examples from the lives of various Christians to show the readers that they too can share the gospel without fear. He advocates a simple and non-confrontational approach to evangelism and states that God can use even imperfect attempts to share the Gospel. What God cannot use is the Christian’s silence about the Gospel.

In the first document of Good News for the Poor, which was created by Edna Lee de Gutierrez, she informs us on her life growing up in Mexico City. She explains to us that her family was financially sound, but sickness, injustice and other factors led to them being in poverty. Though this happened she had a very happy childhood and many sweet memories. Gutierrez tells us that her parents were committed Christians and that she was raised in an atmosphere of understanding. I love that she says “The Good News in Jesus Christ is ours. The Good News can make the whole and decisive difference in the life of any person. Once we belong to the kingdom of God, we have a new attitude towards life and find renewed strength to face our problems and adversities.” I like this because God does help you find strength to face your problems. When you feel alone, know that you are not alone, because God is right there with you. Gutierrez goes on to talk about The Poor. She informs us on the common problems that the poor face. The poor face hard conditions such as unsanitary living conditions, sickness, no food, etc. Gutierrez tells us that the poor have different attitudes with poverty. There are the resentment attitude, self-destructive attitude, and the favorable attitude. “Good news for the poor” is an immense challenge that Christians face. She says that Christians must make the best use of any and all resources to achieve their goal. It caught my attention even more when she explains that

Once I prayed for them and their families, I then served them dinner and sat down and ate with them and continued our talk about the Great Commission. I heard some of the teenagers saying they came for food, and I told them it was okay, just continue to come God knows how to give you what you need and more. We had a few homeless women that we tried to invite in to come eat but they felt uncomfortable because of their clothing. I received no wages but just joy from the hearts that were touched by Christ during our

Our call to show care and concern and to work with communities and individuals to develop and just and caring pattern or system reflects who God is. With a different culture context, we should reach out to the poor. To address the poor in the local community, I propose a contextualized church model with the emphasis of going to the people and bringing the people to the

Currently, I am serving in a mission field, my campus, as each day I have been given access to academic scholars, staff, and students who represent different cultures and religions. Our campus is a revolving door that allows for opportunities to share the gospel. While accepting Christ in my late 30’s I did not understand His love or forgiveness for many years. It is through these truths of His love that I can speak with conviction of His love for all people. Aided through the leading of the Holy Spirts, and the life lessons learned, I can speak of the saving grace of God, His love and His desire for all to know Jesus as Lord, and Savior. It is through God’s guidance and His Word that allows me to share His promises to those who are lost and

Last summer I was given the phenomenal opportunity to go to the nation of Puerto Rico with One To The Other Ministries. I left that island changed. I was able to see The Gospel in action; God’s Truth shown to those who craved it. My friends, Jesus worked miracles on that island. The crippled were healed, the thirsty were given water. Hundreds were saved through Christ’s power! Can I get an Amen?? ;)

It is something I never often heard of before liberty. I now know the desire and need for long term missionaries and I want to encourage everybody to think about doing it. There are so many people that need to be reached and engaged. I want to do something to reach them all but we can’t we just have to send. Beyond that I see the difference between the right and wrong ways of reaching the lost in others cultures. Which I find to be such an eye opener with much clarity of how to reach those in a manner that would not be offending to another person or damaging their culture or community. But instead properly contextualizing so that others may understand the gospel and receive it in a motivating and acceptable

One person started to help this kids in need and his name was Bob Pierce. "Let my heart be broken with the things that break the heart of God." Bob Pierce. After visiting children in Korean Island he wanted to help people in need after a natural disaster. Bob Pierce helped found Samaritan’s Purse in 1970. He devoted his life to help people in poor conditions, and to help counties that were in need also to do through evangelism. After WWII Bob went to Asia and was an evangelist and journalist for Youth For Christ. While in China he found a brave women tending to the lepers who are people with a terrible disease, and orphans sacrificing everything to tell them about Jesus Christ. Through his love and selflessness God gave Bob a great vision for his ministry. In the summer, of 1973 Bob met a young man named Franklin Graham he had a growing heart for ministry. Franklin saw the poverty in other counties and wanted to help. In 1978 Bob died of leukemia and soon after that Franklin Graham became the presentiand and chairman of Samaritan's Purse. Samaritan’s Purse helps out with earthquakes, hurricanes, wars, and famine, etc. Samaritan’s Purse follows God’s word and what he teaches us. They follow Him and the teach the people to also follow

When we think of evangelism, we tend to have a few big names, like Billy Graham, D L Moody, George Whitefield, and John Sung. Our mindset immediately goes to “They are powerful Christians used by God, but I am just a common believer”. Later we will arrive at a conclusion: I can never be good at evangelism. Gradually, we lost the courage to even trying evangelism.

During the summer of 2015, I went on a mission trip to Costa Rica and had a life changing experience. When I went to Costa Rica I was able to teach children that all lived in poverty however, these kids taught me a priceless lesson. With these kids I learned how to be thankful but, not just being thankful for food and family. I learned how to be thankful for small things such as, running water, blankets, and shoes-simple items that the people in Costa Rica do not have Even though the Costa Rican population lives without basic items that we take for granted they are the happiest people that I have ever met. When I was playing with the kids in Costa Rica I would watch their eyes light up when they were coloring with crayons or jumping rope,

A proper theological education to help the congregation to understand the poor and the poverty based on the Old Testament, the Gospel, the New Testament and in the church history will be needed. Theology needs to be systematic and relevant in each of the context the church is in. We have to impart the congregation the message that "to hold the poor central in our mission we need to have God's heart. We must be motivated by him to render service to the poor. God himself must move our hearts (see Jas. 5:11; Lk. 6:36)."
