Let's Change the World From the Bottom Up
When I’m interviewed by the media, they often ask about my opportunities to speak about the Good News of Jesus Christ with presidents, prime ministers, parliaments, and royalty.
In my early years, I thought that if I could convert them, somehow we would change nations. But that’s not how the Good News works.
Real change comes from the bottom up, not from the top down. The top has influence, but it’s never as powerful as you think. Real movements are people’s movements.
I came to see that if I were given a chance to share the Good News with anyone—including heads of state—I had to honor that opportunity the same as I would honor an opportunity to share that Good News with anyone else, from the teller at my bank to a packed stadium in Hong Kong.
It’s not about what I can do through those people—it’s about those people.
The apostle Paul did the same thing. Listen to what he told King Agrippa in Acts 26:22: “God has protected me right up to this present time so I can testify to everyone, from the least to the greatest.” And that’s exactly what Paul did.
And that’s exactly what I want to do until I go to be with the Lord. I hope you will do the same. Let’s reach our world daily!
