...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.

What’s your cause? Does it move you to tears? What is it that moves you passionately?

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

There is nothing to be intimidated about - it's just another long run where a few more people show up and they happen to wear numbers.

If we nurture the dreams of children, the world will be blessed. If we destroy them, the world is doomed!

Children are more than we think they are; they can do more than we think they can do. All they need is a vote of confidence from grownups, whom they will ultimately replace anyway. Their dream today will become the realities of tomorrow.

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.
