Why Do We Do What We Do?
This article first appeared in the March 2015 edition of ITMI Monthly. Why do we feed the poor? They stink. Why do we care for widows and orphans? They have diseases and miseries of every kind.

A Story of God’s Miraculous Protection

What’s So Special About Libeko?
ITMI partners, Timothy Keller and Gerhard le Roux, traveled with Director, Steve Evers, and John Jere to remote Lukulu, Zambia earlier this fall. These are their reflections:
Shattered
Not long ago, Slawek’s alcohol-induced tantrums estranged him from his family. He was unable to hold a steady job in the shifting construction market. His entire life’s work, everything he’s been working so hard to build, turned into a million tiny, almost un-reconstructable pieces.
There’s a growing group in every Polish city that used to be unreachable. Now, we’re reaching them.
A doctor works in Poland on the weekdays, then hops to Ireland over the weekend for a marathon of back-to-back surgeries. Students patchwork their degrees from universities in Portugal, Switzerland, and France while logging charity work in Latin America.Businesspeople arrive in a city only for a day to cinch a well-timed deal, then are off to the next thing. How can those embracing the modern, mobile world be reached and connected to God’s people and His Word?

Saved from Mob Justice
There is a popular song in East Africa that teaches the community that a witchdoctor and a liar deserve to be set on fire. This happened to Mr. Buyongwe (Buy-yong-wee) John, an 80-year-old man who was a well-known witchdoctor, who lived in the Cankozo District in the Republic of Burundi.

One day the community decided to (punish) his witchcraft lies by setting him on fire.

And she meant every word.
