Kristen’s Book

Kristen Jack has edited a book of short stories written by people working with Servants to Asia’s Urban Poor. “The Sound of Worlds Colliding” weaves together reflections from Manila, Bangkok, Phnom Penh, Brisbane, Vancouver and Banda Aceh. It was inspiring to read of many other fools who take risks in order to love the outcast. It reminded me again that 21st century mission really is from everywhere to everywhere and especially amongst the poor.

One idea from the book that I’ve been thinking about today is the truth that whether we are doctors, nurses, or have some other trade.... all of us are wounded healers.

a wounded healer
with broken hands,

the breath of God
in flesh of man.
(K.J)
