The fellows are joined by Melody Slaton, Pastor for Mission and Outreach at Sugar Land Baptist Church, for a discussion of ways church mission programs can engage in both material and spiritual poverty alleviation in ways that foster ongoing faith partnerships and long-term sustainability. God is already working in poor and disenfranchised communities, wherever they are. Informed by the foundational book When Helping Hurts by Steve Corbett and Brian Fikkert, we talk about ways North American Christians can show the example of Christ whether in short-term field trips or day-to-day ministering to local neighborhoods.
