- Dave Gibbons: Change culture by focusing on misfits, not masses #
- DG: who is my neighbor? People who are different then me. Outsiders. #
- DG: focus on the fringe. Fringe always leads the movement. #tls09 #
- DG: we need fewer visionaries and more relationaries. Leadrshp less abt vision. God gave vision. RELATIONSHIPS trump vision #
- DG: Change success metrics. FAILURE is success bc it’s ur platform to connect with humanity. #tls09 #
- DG: do uc ppl as gifts & talents (wat u can get/use)? Or do u c their stories (who they are)? Do u c masses, or people? #tls09 #

- A Rugasira: Africa needs trade, not aid (handouts) #
- A Rugasira: can u survive on $1 a day? Requires gr8 skill to achieve that. So cultivate indig business. #tls09 #
- A Rugasira: sustainable econ change can ONLY happen by cultivatng trade NOT handouts. Africa not a collection of problms. Opportunity #tls09 #
- AR: aid is not aid. Its insincere& conditional. And its fungible; can be redirected. Chronic dependency. Undermines dignity, accountability #

- AR: The best kindness is help ppl help themselves. Reconstruct the narrative. #tls09 #
- Wes Stafford: “Too Small to Ignore: Why the least of these matter most.” Love children bc TODAY we shape the future. #tls09 #
- @realbrandnew BUT ur team members wear silk shirts in reply to realbrandnew #
- WS: pain is catalyst for passion, integrity, and application of personal gifts. #tls09 #
- WS: too often in churches, children are a 2nd rate mandate. Abusive adults cause children to resent the god professed by those adults #tls09 #
- WS: I wasn’t satans tool. Just a hurt lil boy who found his voice. I cld win this time. Endured the pain w courage. Frm victim2victor #tls09 #

- WS: forgiveness may not mean 4getting. BUT it is forsaking the right to revenge. Then God can restore & redeem ur pain. #tls09 #

- @Valkariepsp @christtab in queens in reply to Valkariepsp #
- Hybels: there’s a difference between life saving compassion and long-term, empowering justice #tls09 #
- Hybels: No child shld EVER starve to death in our world. BUT we must also fix systems that are broken. Smart ppl shld do both. #tls09 #
- Hybels: Don’t get heated re polarized extremes. “Resubmit our brains” to the HS so we can think abt both #tls09 #
- Bono: has he seen a difference bw the disengaged, detached church 3 yrs ago, and the church fighting global poverty 2day? #tls09 #
- Bono: in last 3yrs, the church has “ruined it for me.” cant mock church anymore. “i didnt know the giant cld run that fast.” #tls09 #
- Bono: The church is now in the lead, not the rear. we are now winning in some places because the church has woken up! #tls09 #
- Bono: the concept of neighbor has completely changed. in the global village, Africa and US are now neighbors. #tls09 #
- When global poverty became personal, churches started making a difference. Find where God is working and join in. #tls09 #
- A mark of spiritual maturity is whether people are releasing their resources for the least of these. #tls09 #
- Bono: when we sing “where the streets have no name” god walks thru the room. humbling bc it’s a bad lyric, but god uses it. #tls09 #
- Bono: i wrote the lyrics at an etheopian feeding station as ppl who walked all nite for food arrived. thats the street with no name. #tls09 #
- interpreting bono: god was with the hungry etheopian who inspired the song, and hes with u when u remember him. #tls09 #
- bono: intuition is better than intellect. u2′s best work comes when we dont know what we are doing. #tls09 #
- testimonies from pastors who were afraid to talk abt poverty … until a rock start prophet brought conviction. WOW #tls09 #
- testimony of infertile couple who gave their $ for fertility treatmnts to feed malnourished kids even if they nvr had their own child #tls09 #
- “jesus created the church to exist for the world. … why did it take a rock star?” #tls09 #
- After banks crashed, it was so easy to bail out wall st with $700 billion. but it was so hard to find $ for ppl in a far off crisis #tls09 #
- bono’s “fear of denominationalism” – hybels is pushing back. bono: “i go where the life is… hard to take lifeless ceremony” #tls09 #
- bono: people want preachers to be honest. have a spirit of humility. be real. #tls09 #
- soccer coach testimony: caring for the poor is more than giving money. give your life. #tls09 #
- Bono: grace happens in community. #tls09 #
- bono: nothing is dependent on you. but it’s hard, because there is resistence. journey of justice&equality requires each of us #tls09 #
- bono: anger re injustice gives me reason to get out of bed an hr early. stats have faces. we must make poverty history #tls09 #
- bono: its not ok to have a child die for lack of immunizations and food. #tls09 #
- Hybels: Jesus had ‘blinding clarity’ abt church’s obligation 2 poor. Matt 25 #tls09 #
- Hybels: I get paid too much. Willow is a resourced church. Do I do enough? #tls09 #
- Hybels: God in his humor chose bono to get the poor on our radar. #tls09 #
- Hybels: we need compassion AND justice to end stupid, extreme poverty in this generation. #tls09 #
