Start here, here, here, and here.
I know that the normal response is, and it isn’t necessarily wrong, that we have starving children here in the U.S. True. Christianity, however, teaches to love past those political boundaries created by us. Lindsey Nobles works for Thomas Nelson and is currently on a Compassion trip to Guatemala. Above, you will see some very unique stories and pictures of the trip. Consider the stark differences in what you see there and what you would see here in poverty ridden areas.

Joel L. Watts holds a Masters of Arts from United Theological Seminary with a focus in literary and rhetorical criticism of the New Testament. His interests include exploring the role of mimesis in human civilization, specifically in the study of religion and media, as well as science fiction and the way in which it has allowed mythology to be explored in light of scientific discoveries of the past century. He is the author of Mimetic Criticism of the Gospel of Mark: Introduction and Commentary (Wipf and Stock, 2013) and a co-editor and contributor to From Fear to Faith: Stories of Hitting Spiritual Walls (Energion, 2013).
