1 " As we work together as a team, God grows our dreams into something greater than we can accomplish alone. "
― Dillon Burroughs , Faith Acts: A Provocative Call to Live What You Believe
2 " Treat people like family because they are. "
3 " When God gives you a passion for a particular cause, there is a reason for it, and that reason is not to keep it to yourself. You are called to be a representative for those in need. "
4 " When Jesus was interrupted, He started where He was and helped those in need who were nearest to Him. There is always another mission “out there”—the next cause, the next city, or the next country that seems to be the most important mission we could pursue. Jesus illustrates that our greatest mission is often the person in front of us. "
5 " We want to care most about what Jesus cares most about. "
6 " Jesus cares more about our effort than our accomplishments. "
7 " Compassion without action is meaningless. "
8 " When your goal is not fame or notoriety, you can simply show up, offer compassion to people, and let God do His work. "
9 " God does give times of peace in our Christian lives, but it is not all of the time. "
10 " If I came to your town and asked any person on the street, “Which church should I go to if I want to get involved in helping the poor or homeless in this community?” would your church be the first one mentioned? Make this identity your goal. "
11 " Church may be primarily for believers, but the gospel is for all people. "
12 " If your heart is still beating, God is not done with you yet. "
13 " God may allow a disturbance, but we don’t have to be disturbed by it. "
14 " I prefer trying over talking. "
15 " We are called both to live pure lives and to take the good news to those in greatest need. "
16 " You are fooling yourself if you have read the Bible from cover to cover and you do not care more for the lost and hurting and broken than you did before you read it. "
17 " It is easy to say, “Jesus loves you.” It is much more difficult to show someone the love of Jesus. "
18 " God’s will isn’t always written in the sky, but it is clearly written in His Word. "
19 " When God shows up and the unexplainable happens, don’t attempt to explain it as something you did. Tell the story of how God has worked through you to change lives by His grace. "
20 " God doesn’t call us to fix every problem or to please every person; He calls us to do what we can. "
