One tool Tony uses to get students on university campuses to stop long enough to talk is a dry erase board. On the board Tony will write “Today’s Question,” which usually addresses a somewhat provocative subject. Tony poses the question in a “multiple choice” format, which promotes discussion.

On this particular day, Tony's question to the students was this: “The world's main problem is.....” He gave students the option to choose between the following answers: poverty, lack of education, sin, or other. 

Jason, a University of Iowa freshman finance and economics student of Chinese descent, believed a lack of education is the world's main problem. His was not a surprising response considering he was a student at one of the most prestigious and liberal schools in the Midwest.

Jason’s answer began a wonderful conversation about his worldview and the gospel of Jesus Christ.

There was a time during the conversation that Tony believed he saw tears in Jason's eyes.
