Helping Without Hurting in Short-Term Missions: Participant's Guide / Steve Corbett, Brian Fikkert

When Helping Hurts is a paradigm-forming contemporary classic on the subject of poverty alleviation with over 300,000 copies in print. This stand-alone resource applies the principles of that book specifically to short-term missions.

Helping Without Hurting in Short-Term Missions: Participant s Guide aims to train and debrief team members, preparing them to do short-term missions as effectively as possible. To do this, it provides practical examples and guidelines for team members, and it creates interaction and reflection opportunities through questions and journaling.

With eight units, six of which are built around free online video content, this book equips teams to avoid harming materially poor communities and to translate their experience into lasting and mutual engagement with missions and poverty alleviation. In conjunction with the separately available Leader s Guide, it is an ideal resource for churches, Christian colleges, mission agencies, and missionaries.
