Slumdog Tourism

I’m a fan of the Center for Transforming Mission. We at FYI consider them a partner, and I have especially enjoyed getting to know Kris Rocke (no, not that Chris Rock) when he has taught in our FYI Urban Youth Ministry Certificate.
I appreciate their weekly “Word from Below” because they stretch me/remind me to see things differently. In fact, last week’s was on just that: seeing things differently.
If you are involved, or know someone (especially a teenager) involved in short-term missions this summer, I encourage you to discuss this great blog post with them. In what ways do we unknowingly engage in slumdog tourism? How can we make sure we show the utmost dignity, the type of dignity God intends for all people created in His image (which means all people), to those with whom we interact?
