How to Change the World interview

Ten (or so) Questions with Richard Stearns, President of World Vision, from Guy Kawasaki

A few quotes stand out:

It has turned out to be the greatest privilege of my life to serve the poorest of the poor in Christ's name.

Today, we live in a world that tolerates extreme poverty much like racism was tolerated fifty-plus years ago. We can all become people determined to do something to change the world.

... less than two percent of private charitable giving goes to international causes.

If it could be said of us that we gave the poor a voice, that we provoked the rich and the powerful to action and that we gave hope to people trapped in hopelessness, I would be deeply gratified.

Thank you, Bob Webber

Bob Webber married Carol and I in 1970. He was a deeply important source of encouragement and guidance to me during the emerging years of my adult faith. His impact on my life was more personal than theological, but it was profound.

I am sad at his passing, and I am very thankful for this man. God grant us the grace to carry on his spirit.

These articles describe some of his significance in the larger world:
