a film maker and tireless worker for the poor among us
There is a particular power in humor.
Pick people for what they are doing now, not what they once did or what others think they could do.What makes things great is to have people draw out the best from within them.
When things go wrong you can't panic to early because what seems to be failure, might actually turn out to be the key of what will be successful.
"When you are fighting for the poor, you are fighting for their right to laugh, to sing, and to hope for the future."
One of the ways Richard has been involved is through the Red Nose Day.
"I'm not embarrassed to ask people to do things because people really want to do something significant."
I'm as impressed as Bill Hybels is with the work that Richard is doing to alleviate the suffering of the poor. Having seen the interviews and the clips and knowing the reality that is faced it is a hard question of how to bring my gifts to the benefit of others. Not just for the benefit of others for a more comfortable life or a little bit more (whatever that is) but for the benefit of life and hope and a future which might embrace the love of God. So what is the calling that is upon my life from God? I think I know, but will I remain open for God to speak truth into my life in ways that I have not yet heard?
