Should giving out aid and evangelism be mixed?
That question was prompted by an e-mail I received about a group of rural Christian youth who went to downtown Winnipeg to hand out food and water to homeless people and evangelize them. (“Four people were saved,” they said.)
I have my own opinions. (No, they should not be mixed.) But I decided to ask some people who have experience with homelessness in the city: Julianne Aitken, executive director at Siloam Mission, and Tobi Jolly, who directs community wellness for that organization.
Read their responses in my Free Press column.
P.S. Ignore the headline
on the column in the newspaper. I don’t write them. The answer is not complicated for me at all.
