On April 30th, I had the privilege to represent Wellspring at the fifth annual RL Peterson Awards for Innovation in Cambridge, Ontario. The awards are hosted by the Bridgeway Foundation, a forward thinking private foundation committed to helping non-profit organizations "engage in creative transformational projects both within Canada and the developing world." I sat there with other business and non profit leaders, celebrating how God is using the passion and creativity of his people to make a difference around the world, and in awe of the creativity being unleashed to find solutions to some of the World's most pressing problems.I am so proud of this years award winners-the Ratanak Foundation, International China Concern, and Christian Blind Mission International (CBMI)-and their commitment to finding new solutions to age old problems. I am inspired by the commitment of the Ratanak Foundation in Cambodia to help rehabilitate rescued Cambodian sex trade workers. I am inspired to see God using International China Concern to support disabled Chinese children and their families before they are abandoned. I am inspired by the initiative of CBMI to partner with Toronto Sick Children's Hospital through satellite technology with a rural hospital in Uganda. Their example helps us at Wellspring to do a better job at what God has called us to do and reminds us that we are part of a team of people who stretch around the world. |
