Calling All Bricklayers!


One of the books I am currently reading is Wars, Guns & Votes: Democracy in Dangerous Places by Paul Collier. Not exactly the best bedtime reading, but thus far a very interesting book especially since I am living in a post-conflict democracy.

I am not endorsing all of the opinions of the author, but I thought this quote was interesting.

"Post-conflict situations need squads of bricklayers, plumbers, welders, and so forth, who set about training young men. Unfortunately, it is too mundane for the development agencies to organize it. We need Bricklayers Without Borders."

So if you are a bricklayer, plumber, welder, mechanic, mason, contractor, etc., you should consider applying to the World Harvest Mission South Sudan Team! Join us in partnering with the local church and community in Mundri to bring hope through gospel-centered healing, development and discipleship.

Maybe why Jesus came as a carpenter, not something more "flashy". Like this post!!
