The Paradox of Helping: When Good Intentions Go Wrong
Picture yourself in a Ugandan slum, standing over a desperately ill woman who had her tonsils removed with a kitchen knife. You've just spent $8 on penicillin to save her life. Heroic, right? But as Brian Fikkert flew home, he realized his "help" might have undermined local leadership and reinforced dependency. This pivotal moment captures the heart of "When Helping Hurts" - a book that has transformed how Christians approach poverty alleviation. Despite unprecedented wealth in Western churches, our helping often hurts both the materially poor and ourselves. Why? Because we fundamentally misunderstand poverty and our role in addressing it. The solution isn't to stop helping but to help differently - moving from paternalistic charity toward empowering partnership that recognizes our mutual brokenness and need for reconciliation.
