Can you find or work yourself out of a job? According to this philosophy of “doing charity,” its focus is not job security but job insecurity, in hopes that the work will be taken over by those who are being served, so that they will carry on the work themselves when the organizers/founders of the charity move on.

In fact, an old paradigm in missionary work had the missionary staying on the mission field forever in the role of resident expert. Under this paradigm, whenever the native converts ran into a problem, they would go to a resident missionary, and ask “Bwana, what should we do?” With that in mind George Bwana would show a student what he/she should do from his Western cultural perspective.” What if the missionary had to quit the work to run a charity that would allow him to do so also? He had deliberately made himself indispensable, which is a recipe for failure.

What is needed for missionaries to work themselves out of jobs? If their goal is to establish an independent and thriving church of faithful believers, for example, and the church reaches that milestone, then the missionaries entrust the church to the national believers and their own appointed leaders, and the missionaries move on to another mission field.

Whether the missionaries have done their job well or not, we can be certain that the national believers have culture sensitive tools and techniques which will help to ensure the work survives and thrives and maybe even reproduces itself in a different locale with other people who “catch the vision” and get on board with it.

Several dear friends of mine were missionaries to Colombia, South America. They were all over the world and really did have a life in Latin America. If you were a native Colombian, had these missionaries based and they weren’t content just to help Colombians see themselves as a church with their religious beliefs that many others are not. I guess you could accurately call them holistic missionaries, in that they were not content simply to start a “religious” work among native Colombians by imposing their own Westernized views on their people they served. Rather, concurrent with the “sacred” aspects of their work (they were, after all, modern-day Christian apostles interested in “planting” a thriving church where no church had existed before), they engaged in cultural-specific “secular” projects for native Colombians in the Barranquilla area.

With the cooperation and input of native Colombians, many of whom had “caught the vision” and identified with this collaborative work, my friends started a self-sustaining chicken farm which provided much much needed income for the poorer folks in the region, many of whom did the bulk of the work in running and maintaining the chicken farm and its associated for-profit business of selling eggs.

Once a self sustaining church and a self-sustaining business were established and run by native Colombians, my friends gradually decreased the amount of time they spent in Colombia and eventually withdrew from Colombia and engaged in a fulltime work elsewhere.

They of course kept in touch with the key people in the Colombian church, offering advice and practical help from a distance, but the local leaders were thereafter in charge of running things independently in their own way and with a distinctly Colombian flavor. My missionary friends had just ruled themselves out of a job. How do we be sure that they come out of this job?

How do I learn to love people?

As T.C. and E.J.M. pointed out, they are similes. If any one has seen them, you can make them and are not ashamed. What is a good translation of “He scowled like a dog.” Even an angry man bared his teeth as a dog with rabies. What

does a simile mean if it is an expanded adjective? Similes in English are a great way to spice up your grammar. They are also good at drawing comparisons. How do you say, “The cat is grey, like in an overcast day in London?” ” The word as can introduce a simile: “The day after exercising, he was as stiff as a rusty hinge. “It’s the more striking your simile the better the composition. ” ”

Similes and metaphors are cousins, but you use a simile with words such as “like” and “as”, whereas you use a metaphor without those words (words) (see example below) When Sznek arrived in Japan, he was a gorilla. He came in my life, he started to fight in boxing. ” Despite his massive size, Simile was as fierce as a bat in the boxing ring ” (Wikipedia), “He was as fierce as a gorilla in the boxing ring and I am not saying that he was so fierce I like to kill him personally by not doing anything,” (Wikipedia). Definition

of analogy: “An analogy can function as extended metaphor or simile. When two things compare to each other, you can focus on what makes them different or what makes them similar. From your perspective, you can compare a court trial to a boxing match. What are the differences between two similar creatures? Two are competitions with a winner (one boxer wins and one loses; one lawyer wins and one loses). Why? Instead of using fists as weapons, as boxing ring fighters do, lawyers use words as weapons in trial. What are the key rules of competition for a boxing match? A boxer must keep hitting his opponent once he knocks his opponent down. This should be avoided. Is that a rule? Similarly, lawyers must not ask a witness a leading question, or bully a witness with words, or disrespect the judge. What are the rules?

If simile, metaphor, and analogy can add color to your descriptions, but as with any other figure of speech, they can become overused. Rather than sticking with the overused “He stuck out like a sore thumb” (meaning he was being too obvious, rather than blending in), use “She stuck out like a pregnant polevaulter!” Now there are pictures with similes.

What you mean when “like a bat out of hell” is overused? Why is it mentioned so often in jokes? As similes of “like a rabbit in heat” the phrase “like a dog in heat” is not as common as “like a rabbit in heat”. Strive to be original. Avoid being overly literal. Try inventing your own figures of speech. What are good sites for researching books of similes and metaphors?

Why don’t NGOs really pay attention to the nature of NGOs, or have a direct impact on people’s lives?
