The following video is an introduction to the book “When Helping Hurts: How to Alleviate Poverty Without Hurting the Poor…and Yourself.”  This book has been studied by some of our missionaries in the city of Winnipeg and also in Bolivia.  Many organizations like Compassion Canada are also affirming the validity of the principals discussed.

On Nov. 18 our General Council will be discussing a Philosophy of Missions – Draft 2_5 for us as Go Mission!   We invite your prayer and input as we seek to understand how to engage in mission in a God honoring way.
