QUOTE: "It may have our name on it because we supplied it to them, but it's the local church that these people see meeting their needs. We try to leave that church in a better position. … When we get these folks together [for aid distribution], we're going to do two things: We're going to meet their physical need … but we're also going to take the opportunity to share the gospel. What I have found is, no matter what that person's background is, when I look them in the eye and say, 'Can I pray for you?,' I've never had anybody say no." —Barry Hall, director of program support at Samaritan's Purse, on the approach fellow faith-based relief agencies are taking to meet the needs of the millions in Haiti following the devastating earthquake [chron.com, 2/4/10]
