Dominating the daily news cycle today are the grim realities of grinding
poverty, sex trafficking, gender discrimination, child soldiering,
HIV/AIDS, failed states, corruption, and environmental breakdown. In the
midst of such pain and brokenness, the followers of Christ cannot stand
idly by, for God calls them into the mission of reconciling all things,
first by easing suffering and then by building flourishing communities
through the process of transformational human development. This
practical handbook explains what development is, what development
workers actually do, and how young people can prepare for mission
careers in this field, both in North America and abroad. In addition to
setting the big picture for how Christians approach the big questions of
international development, the book draws on stories, advice, and
wisdom collected from personal interviews with about fifty development
professionals.
