  there’s haiti mud on my shoes

  activist faith, haiti '12, missions, poverty, SERVE, the latest 9 comments

  Is it bad that I don’t want to wash the Haiti mud off of my shoes? Most of it is already gone anyway, but the thought of washing the rest of it off just breaks my heart. I should probably be a little embarrassed walking around in public with dirty  shoes. It’s [...]

  book review: when helping hurts [how to alleviate poverty without hurting the poor ... and yourself]

  activist faith, book reviews, missions, poverty, READ, the latest 17 comments

My anxiety increases with every heartbeat as I casually inspect the vessel that’s about to take me across Lake Azuei. Now isn’t the time for me to recall the River Monsters marathon that I watched before [...]
