- How a child used gardening to serve his community
When God created us, He gave us the freedom and ability to rule over everything else he created -- plants, land, animals and organisms. But I have heard people interpret this blessing a variety of ways. Does it mean His creation is at our disposal, to use as we please? Or is it a call to care for living things and steward our natural resources well?

What does it take to make Mom happy? I’ve visited nearly 20 countries in the 17 years I’ve worked with Food for the Hungry (FH), and it seems all mothers want the same things. They want their children to be healthy and happy. They yearn for their kids to finish school. If you probe deeper, [...]

- 3 ways that development work is discipleship in disguise
-
In my frequent conversations with pastors, we often find ourselves stuck at the question of “so, what exactly is development?” Rather than starting from scratch, I love to begin with a more familiar term: discipleship. While the words are not synonymous, there are some strong connections between the two concepts. The ministry of Food for [...]
