“When we’re involved with the developing world, elements of control and credit [can] cloud things and make them complicated. In God’s economy, He ought to be the one getting the credit. I don’t need credit. He can get the credit. . . If we can get to a place where we can set that aside. . . good things could happen.”

In this conversation about Haiti and some of the the complex challenges the country is facing, Crossworld President Luke Perkins shares insights into the impact of foreign aid that isn’t contextualized to the culture it’s serving. He also shares about Crossworld’s different approach to missions, which involves sending working professionals to unreached people groups around the world, emphasizing the need for disciple-making in regions with little access to the gospel. As he reflects on the changing dynamics of global missions, Luke highlights the opportunities and challenges for the Western church and the importance of rethinking the traditional roles of “senders” and “goers” in cross-cultural ministry.
