Gary Haugen quotes:

When our grandchildren ask us where we were when the voiceless and the vulnerable in our era needed leaders of compassion and purpose, I hope we can say that we showed up, and that we showed up on time.

If you're wrestling with some sort of decision, reflect for a moment and ask yourself, Am I being brave, or am I being safe? In the end, it depends on whether we think God can be trusted.

Half the Sky: Turning oppression into opportunity for women worldwide

Leaders lead out of who they are on the inside.

The victims of injustice in our world do not need our spasms of passion; they need our long obedience in the same direction - our legs and lungs of endurance; And we need sturdy stores of joy.

Decide justice is worthy and refuse to go away.

Justice is doing for others what we would want done for us.

Nothing happens just because we are aware of modern day slavery, but nothing will ever happen until we are.

Victims of oppression & injustice don't need our spasm of passion....they need our legs & lungs of endurance.

God has a plan to help bring justice to the world - and his plan is us.

The fact is, when people choose to be brave instead of smart, their courage is generally so threatening to those who are smart rather than brave that they end up being maligned, not congratulated. This is what the Bible says we can expect.

Deep within all of us there is a yearning to be brave. And like all of our deepest, truest and best yearning, it comes from how we were made.Courage-the power to do the right thing even when it is scary and hard- resonates deeply with the original shape of our soul.

God does His miracles of transformation through miraculously transformed people.

God does not give His people a ministry for which He does not give them the power to do it.

Jesus beckons me to follow him to that place of weakness where I risk the vulnerability of a child so that I might know how strong my Father is and how much he loves me. But truth be told, I would rather be an adult. I'd rather be in a place where I can still pull things together if God doesn't show up, where I risk no ultimate humiliation, where I don't have to take the shallow breaths of desperation. And as a result, my experience of my heavenly Father is simply impoverished.

Jesus wants to give you five things: extravagant compassion, moral clarity, sacrificial courage, persevering hope, and refreshing joy,

Let us start with the biggest no brainer of injustice in the world and that is slavery,

One of the biggest regrets of life, I think, is a sense of having gone on the trip but missed the adventure.

There is an awesome God of justice who is ready to move in power if you move in obedience,

We can help the work of justice by preparing for a marathon, not a sprint. A long obedience in the same direction

We must start talking differently about poverty--and start doing something differently.
