Design Thinking Process for Creation Care Efforts
No full textCaring for God’s creation is a fundamental way of glorifying Him and supporting humanity. Therefore, faith-based organizations should deliver practical creation care efforts with lasting positive impacts. For this purpose, this paper describes the application of the design thinking process to create innovativesolutions to environmental challenges that affect our community. It is a solution-based and human- centered process that rests on four key pillars: intentionality, desirability, feasibility, and viability.
