BEST QUOTES



"If what the common poor person was facing was violence, there wasn't a Christian ministry addressing that.""IJM started as a response to that biblical call to care for the poor and to seek justice and to make sure there was a vehicle by which Christians could be loving their neighbors who were victimized by violent abuse and oppression.""There are more people in slavery today than in any other time in human history.""After the first 7 years, we started to sense that God wanted to pour more of His presence and power out among us, but that we weren't really spiritually prepared to receive it.""If we don't have a work that we are engaged in that has us running to God in prayer, it might suggest that we have found some cozy cul-de-sac of work that is a bit more tame than God would intend.""If this is God's work and ministry, why wouldn't we be talking to Him about it throughout the day?""Protecting the poor from violence is God's weight and we are going to do it Jesus' way.""Most of my challenges and weaknesses in my spiritual life don't come from what I don't know about the Scriptures, it's what I don't act upon.""Don't seek to lead. Seek to serve, and people might ask you to lead if you serve well."
