I watched a video today and it goes along with my Substack here, so you might enjoy it. It’s a discussion on the book, Toxic Charity By Robert Lupton. That’s an affiliate link if you want to buy it after hearing about it, by clicking the link you would help support the substack at no cost to you. I purchased a copy today. I’m interested in this sort of thing, of course.
Good book. I enjoyed reading it some time ago. As you noted, his critique of church mission trips is all too accurate. Like any critique, it can be taken too far to the point where anyone helping the poor is dismissed as a do-gooder.
A missionary I have met has a similar message as yours. https://www.amazon.com/Are-Not-Hero-Jean-Johnson/dp/1937756459
