How should Christians engage with poverty across national, cultural, and racial barriers? Dr. Michael Badriaki (Ugandan) and Dr. Matthew Price (American) explore topics and stories regarding poverty, sharing of resources, and the church. Embracing the Margins Podcast seeks to catalyze church leaders, non-profits, and individual Christians to re-examine the ways resources are shared in light of Jesus' teaching on the rich, the poor, and the nature of the church itself.
In this episode of Embracing the Margins, Drs. Price and Badriaki examine the humanitarian crisis in Haiti caused by the recent earthquake and look back to the previous international relief response to a similar Haitian crisis in 2010. What is the best way for Christians to partner and help with the relief effort, and what lessons can we learn from the past?
