I was reading through a notebook from this 2006 seminar and came across this quote:
"We want this mobilization to result in effective mercy ministry, and not just a new organizational chart, or new pamphlets, or new slogans. Effectiveness implies really solving a problem or meeting a need. Far too often we engage in producing repetitive activities that don't seem to move us very far ahead in accomplishing anything. Mercy seeks to eliminate need, to heal the sick, to feed the poor, to house the homeless, to give hope to the hopeless, and not to keep people in perpetual need and make them dependent. This is tough, and it will require wisdom from God."
What do you think?
