"Is Ukraine the next tipping point for humanitarian aid reform?" asks the @newhumanitarian

While evidence of change is very limited, there are some examples. These need to be amplified and change accelerated.

God’s purpose is not to build up spectacular ministries, or display brilliant minds, or articulate tongues or pleasing, arresting personalities. God’s purpose is to make us, you and me like His Son. It is the only outcome that brings glory to the Father.

@crutweets Why was this vague statement released on Twitter instead of Workplace or in an all-staff email? I don’t like the power dynamic of Cru having 18K followers see this vs Lenses 500 followers.

Seeing clearly is a gift! So thankful for providers like @RestoringVision and @SharkEyesInc who equip our teams to provide the right glasses for people like Zacharia.

Zacharia, an 80-year-old tailor in Tanzania, could not see clearly. He was given eyeglasses at an Unto vision clinic hosted by one of our trip teams. Today he can see again! Watch the video to learn how you can serve people in the toughest places on earth: https://t.co/WtZprvXkA6

As I've said so many times before, read everything @lorewilbert writes, including this. https://t.co/WuuZ6I1lms Here is a woman wrestling with the HOW of (political, social) love.

“Hospitality is not just greeting strangers at church or hosting small parties. Hospitality is a radical stance of human faithfulness against fear, grounded in an awareness of human vulnerability.” - Amy Peterson

“It cannot be denied that too often the weight of the Christian movement has been on the side of the strong and the powerful and against the weak and oppressed—this, despite the gospel.” - Howard Thurman, Jesus and the Disinherited

A sweet prayer time this morning with some of @unto_people's regular volunteers. We also sang some hymns, like my Easter favorite, "He Arose!" Thankful for these friends and for technology that still helps us #revealhope.

@CNHotelOfficial Already had a great interaction with Lizette to book a room for my husband's birthday. She helped me stay within budget and select the right room for my husband's favorite show. Can't wait to stay there!
