Every child you encounter is a divine appointment.

...while God has done his part in creating a world capable of providing what we need, we have not done our part in the stewardship of it, in seeing that it gets to the end of the line, to the poorest and neediest--the children.

One changed child eventually changes a family. A changed family will influence change in its church. Enough changed churches will transform a community. Changed communities change regions. Changed regions will in time change an entire nation.

Just know this: What you will do among children is as close to the heart of God and central to his kingdom as anything we could mention.

I spend half my time comforting the afflicated, and the other half afflicting the comfortable.

To be compassionate in this hurting world means it will cost you something.

I’m convinced that one of the most powerful forces on earth is the prayer of a child.
