Walking Alongside Vulnerable Children | Craig Greenfield

Mindshift

Welcome to Mindshift, a podcast by the Homecoming project that exists to equip and empower you to advocate on behalf of vulnerable children around the world.

In this episode, host Krish Kandiah speaks to Craig Greenfield about radical hospitality and the power of mentoring and walking alongside those who are vulnerable. Craig speaks honestly about the importance of having a posture of humility and a desire to learn when helping others, rather than coming in as a ‘saviour’. He shares about the growth of the Alongsiders movement and how young people are walking alongside vulnerable children all over the world. We hope you enjoy this episode and are inspired to seek out those in your proximity who you could walk alongside.

Dr Krish Kandiah, host and friend of the Homecoming project, is a government advisor in child welfare, an author, theologian, and activist based in the UK. Krish and his wife Miriam have six children through birth, adoption, and fostering.

Craig Greenfield is the founder of Alongsiders International, working with vulnerable children in 21 countries. He is the author of the upcoming book, “How [not] to be a White Savior.”

Recorded in October 2019, this podcast was brought to you by the Homecoming project – because children thrive in families.
