Discussion Questions
6 questions1.How does Katie's work begin to extend beyond individual children into entire villages and communities? What does this expansion reveal about the nature of poverty and the nature of genuine help?
2.Luke 4:18-19 describes Jesus's mission: good news to the poor, freedom for the captive, sight for the blind, release for the oppressed. How does Amazima's work in the villages reflect this multi-dimensional vision of human flourishing — spiritual, physical, relational?
3.Katie learns that truly helping a community means listening to it, not just arriving with solutions. Have you ever seen "help" that was more about the helper than the helped? What made it ineffective or even harmful?
