Excerpts From Special Needs Address--Hanoi University of Education
It is good to be with you here today. I love Vietnam. I sometimes think I am Vietnamese. I am one of the minority tribes--you just have never seen me before. You are God’s special people. You care for those that are least.
A society is characterized by how it cares for its least. A society’s future is determined by its vision. Your motto is "Vision with action changes the world." All of us have the same goal--to get farther down the road than where we started.
As a Christian, I believe we have been given the responsibility for life on earth to be as it is in heaven. The method by which we do that is the life of Christ living in us. Vision is always about things being better.
For a vision to work, there must be a sense of call to do something. There must be an attitude of determination that won’t give up. There must be a lifestyle of discipline. A vision is more than a dream--it will require a life and a life-time.
