Dependency vs Local Dignity
Dependency is an interesting subject that I am sure is debated in the missiological society. Glenn Schwartz talks about four lessons on this subject. They are: everyone should give, build dignity and ownership, be reproducible, and avoid dependency on outside funding (Winter, 2014, p. 657-658). On one hand, we want to help the poor, yet…
