LISTEN TO THE EPISODE
Summary:
Rapidly growing movements attract donors who want to invest. What are the effects of that giving? Who do majority world movement leaders and practitioners experience the gifts coming from outside? Today on the podcast we talk with Brett Butler about these important “elephant in the room” topics any cross cultural worker or team grapples with.
Key Points From This Episode:
- Multiplication and fruit doesn’t always mean money is being handled wisely or fairly.
- Talking about financial issues is emotional, yet it is the elephant in the room and must be talked about if we want to have deep and genuine relationships cross-culturally.
- Western donors struggle with guilt, pity, and wanting to quickly rescue rather than going deeper in understanding and relationship.
- Who do you love more story. Community expectations on anyone with interactions with outsiders are important to be aware of.
- Running out of gas story. Should I give? Conflicting scriptural answers. When should I give?
- Will motorbikes really be faster story. Money isn’t always the answer or best solution.
- Slow down. Ask the Father. Examine your heart.
- Who is my brother and how shall I love him?
- Be generous and be wise
- Money is not the solution to things related to faith.
- Don’t give money to people you don’t know well or into situations you don’t know well.
- Don’t accept money from people you don’t know well.
