Each of us knows someone who is hurting. We want to help but often
don't know how. So we try to solve his or her problem by evaluating
the situation and giving advice. But what hurting people need first
and foremost is to be understood. Rod Wilson offers you practical
insights into helping hurting people. These insights are born out
of more than thirty years of church and counseling experience.
Whether you're a church leader or a caring friend, this book will
give you needed tools to minister more effectively to those around
you who are hurting.
Rafaga is the life story of Reynaldo Reyes, a Miskito Indian born
in Nicaragua and a leader of the Miskito people in their struggle
for political autonomy and cultural survival. Here Reyes tells of
his childhood, his efforts to get an education, and his ordination
to the ministry. Swept up by the revolution, Reyes becomes a
military man, fighting with the Sandinistas against the National
Guard to depose the brutal Somoza regime. When he realizes the
revolution is not helping the Miskitos, Reyes joins his people's
resistance against the Sandinista government. Through daring
leadership, he quickly emerges as a field commander of the Miskito
counterrevolutionary forces, allied with the Contras and funded by
the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency. But Reyes - known by his nom
de guerre, Rafaga - realizes that war is prolonging his people's
suffering. Sickened by the corruption among Contra political and
military leaders, Rafaga works with Miskito leaders toward peace
with the Sandinistas, in hopes of restoring the rights of the
Miskito nation. Much more than a political autobiography or an
ethnographic account, Rafaga is the story of a dynamic leader who
had the courage for war and the vision for negotiation. It is also
the gripping story of the devastation experienced indigenous people
in a region undergoing full-scale militarization.
Fundraising has always been an essential element of the Christian
life: churches, schools, and many other organisations rely on it to
function. But it is a risky enterprise, fraught with questions and
challenges. How can Christians raise funds with integrity? In this
book Peter Harris and Rod Wilson, experienced fundraisers
themselves, bring fundraising within the scope of normal Christian
life and work. They consider fundraising in light of the
relationships that lie at its heart-with God, with creation, and
with ourselves. After first laying a biblical foundation by
discussing 2 Corinthians 8-9, Harris and Wilson develop seven
themes central to the giving and receiving of money: integration,
people, work, success, need, method, and money. In a final section,
the authors offer their own personal experiences, questions,
suggestions, and valuable insights that they have gained from their
many years of fundraising as Christians.
