"God uses broken things. It takes broken soil to produce
a crop, broken clouds to give rain, broken grain to give
bread, broken bread to give strength. It is the broken
alabaster box that gives forth perfume. It is Peter,
weeping bitterly, who returns to greater power than ever."

"If you perform your part, God will fulfill His.
And once you put off specifically, you should just as
thoroughly believe that God will renew your mind,
despite the fact you know not how."

JC:
Prayer would be one. Secondly, looking at life not
for the number of years that we live on this earth, but
in relation to eternity. I want to bring people Jesus so
the hope of eternity is real for them. While they are
suffering now, in eternity they will see the end of that
suffering and the answer to that is Jesus.

Mother Teresa said she maintained her perspective by
seeing Christ in each person she encountered. Does that
resonate with you?
JC:
Absolutely. It's about remembering that every
cup of water you give or training you offer on how to
prevent or work with HIV/AIDS or every little child
that's given food is done in the name of Christ. One
of the first times that I went to a really poor commu-
nity in a country, I felt so terrible, because I felt why
should I have all this privilege and here are these
little children sitting in the mud, no running water,
no houses, hardly enough food. How is that fair? But
it compels you to do better. It compels you to give
more. Being ever conscious, that in the words of the
Salvation Army song, there are people hurting in the
world out there. They need you. They need me. They
need Christ. That's collaboration.
