Larry's guest post | World Vision Blog
On this blog, we’ve had a variety of guest bloggers in the past — Mark Hall from Casting Crowns; Josh Loveless from Relevant Magazine; Reneé Stearns, wife of World Vision president Rich Stearns; and Adam Jeske from InterVarsity. But we’ve never had a guest blogger quite like this one. He’s a newcomer to the blogging world, a well-respected teacher to many, and a lover of God’s children and kingdom. He’s known to be a bit of a health addict, a vegetarian, really big on going green. A believer in diversity of friendships, the company he enjoys comes in all shapes and sizes — a bit beyond the garden-variety, if we can say so. Although he’s become quite the movie star,...

Lisa’s handmade jewelry design company donated these to our trip to support our team and child sponsorship in Bolivia. (Of course, we wish you were here with us, Lisa!) And when you sponsor a child in Bolivia and get this necklace, know that someone special in a World Vision community...

World Vision? What’s that? An optician with delusions of grandeur? A new psychic helpline? A few months ago, I had no idea. Then there came a curious off-season story from the most watched sports beat here at the Atlanta Journal-Constitution: University of Georgia football. Bulldogs fans were all atwitter over a report that head coach Mark Richt had put his vacation lake home up for sale. That prompted wide speculation that after two disappointing seasons he was selling off as a hedge against the possibility of being fired this year........

We’ve mentioned before our outstanding corporate partner, Procter and Gamble (P&G). And maybe you even heard about their big milestone a couple of months ago: providing their 3 billionth liter of clean drinking water to the developing world with PUR water packets in partnership with World Vision. But what you might not have heard is the fascinating story of how P&G’s PUR “clean water venture” got started....
