"We have all kinds of faith there... it's about doing for others. You know that, the golden rule... I see people that don't necessarily know why they're there or they're coming there because their group is there. They leave different, they leave changed and the biggest thing that's changed is their compassion for humanity."

"I remember just standing there, I looked down at a gentleman and his shoes were untied. And I thought, "do I have the guts to tie his shoes and bend down?" He was so dirty. And I bent down and tied those shoes. And I remember thinking, this is what the Lord does for me daily, and we forget that everybody is a son and daughter of God."
