• Hewetson discusses the idea that Christian aid, if not accompanied by the Christian message, could potentially do more harm than good. He explores the mission of God, questioning whether evangelism should take precedence over social harmony. His talk focuses on the story of Peter and John healing the lame man outside the temple, redeeming both his soul and his situation. Hewetson states that contact with Jesus Christ leads to a personal transformation. He raises the issue of whether we should prioritise meeting people's physical or spiritual needs. Ultimately, he argues that Christian social action should not be used as a means to promote evangelism, as it could be perceived as a bribe. Instead, he views social action and gospel proclamation as partners, suggesting that social action serves as an audio-visual aid to enhance the message of the gospel. Hewetson says to love people deeply in the heart and one meet them at their point of need, and one must always help their spiritual need in the name of Jesus.
