This is a presentation that was done for my dad and his volunteers. It was intended to encourage our team to see how different the view of the world can be if you get past statistics and prejudice. When you live in God’s Kingdom the rules change and so must the way we see and interact with the world around us. In Kind the world around us must see Him in us.
