After doing some random surfing, I came upon this quote from Tony Campolo. For those of you that don’t know of Tony, he’s a well-known Christian speaker who does talks all over the world. Actually, I saw him once in Moncton at a youth rally about 8 years ago.

Anyways, here is the quote which Tony has been known to say at churches and youth groups. Quite true, isn’t it? Especially when you put it into the context of where he says it.

“I have three things I’d like to say today. First, while you were sleeping last night, 30,000 kids died of starvation or diseases related to malnutrition. Second, most of you don’t give a shit. What’s worse is that you’re more upset with the fact that I said ’shit’ than the fact that 30,000 kids died last night.” - Tony Campolo

Another reason why I’ve put this quote here is that I will be considering another option to my possibilities of either graduate school or going out into the work force after graduation: missions. The past couple of large group meetings at ACF have dealt with missionaries from the Philippines and Kazakhstan who have told of their experiences. These speakers have been very interesting and I’ve started thinking about going on either a long or short term mission trip after leaving Acadia. I’m not sure where I would go. There are possibilities for India, China, Africa, and pretty much any other place in the world. Once again, I’ll keep you posted as to any new developments.
