ADDITIONAL READING MATERIALS To prepare for your trip to Zambia, you will receive a series of devotionals from Danny Lightner, our Advisor for Spiritual Development, via email. However, for those of you seeking additional materials to prepare your hearts and minds, our team has curated a list of books we think are great tools. These materials are not required and not recommended for younger participants, as some may contain more adult concepts. WHEN HELPING HURTS: At Family Legacy, we seek to glorify God by empowering vulnerable children in Zambia to live up to their God-given potential, but we want to accomplish that mission in a way that truly helps. In this book, Steve Corbett and Brian Fikkert explore how some poverty alleviation efforts fail to see poverty as a complex issue and can cause more harm than good. When Helping Hurts explores Christ-centered poverty alleviation that applies biblical principals to caring wisely and compassionately without unintentionally causing harm.

THE HOLE IN OUR GOSPEL: Is our faith just about going to church, studying the Bible, and avoiding the most serious sins, or does God expect more? Have we embraced the whole gospel or a gospel with a hole in it? This book is the compelling true story of a corporate CEO (Richard Stearns, World Vision) who set aside worldly success for something far more significant and discovered the full power of the gospel of Jesus Christ to change his own life. He uses his journey to demonstrate how the gospel—the whole gospel—was always meant to be a world-changing social revolution; a revolution that begins with us.

WALKING THE BOWL: A breathtaking, real-life story of four street children in contemporary Zambia whose lives are drawn together and forever altered by the mysterious murder of a fellow street child. These children navigate the violent and poverty-stricken underworld of Lusaka, one of Africa’s fastest-growing cities. Gripping and fast-paced, the book exposes the perilous aspects of street life through the eyes of the children who survive, endure, and dream there. Warning: this book contains depictions of violence and abuse that may be hard for some readers. However, we believe it realistically depicts life for street children in Zambia.
