My experience from responding to all sorts of crises around the world has taught me to always focus on the person, the individual, the family, not the project. Responding can involve physical work like gutting and sheet rock, but the real response ministry builds relationships, puts the tools down and patiently listens, and empathetically cares, hugs, cries and prays. Transforming Gospel outreach focuses on people.
