What is it about?
Proposing great projects to the poor, can be an excuse not to level with them, and thus see the real depth and complexity of their problems. Christian mission aids its penetration if it avoids identity as 'donor'.

Why is it important?
The West has been used to thinking that its money and technology (and the technology never seems to work without the money) is the best it has to offer. This article challenges that view, and suggests that the Gospel is key.
Perspectives
This article draws particularly on a particular visit I made in Kenya in 2012. Yet, that visit was only typical of many. I hope reading it will challenge people to be vulnerable in their approach to mission.
