Big Vision Simple Ideas – Wendy Strachan

The phrase ‘2.2 billion children’ rolls off our tongues easily but have we stopped long enough to consider the enormity of the task before us?  Wendy Strachan in her article, ‘Big Vision, Simple Ideas’ challenges us to have a vision that is big enough to encompass every child.  The attached document is simply a collection of circles.  However, each circle represents 100,000 children in our world today.  Take time to scroll through the pages.  Jesus said, ‘Your Father in heaven is not willing that ANY of these little ones should be lost.’  (Matthew 18:14). How seriously are we taking Him?
