We have just one life...

Why all the biking, all the running, all the swimming? Why bother with all the sacrifice? What can a few measly dollars do to help anyone anyway? The problem is just to big. Right?

I recall a story told in church one day about a little girl that was on a beach with her father. The beach was full of countless starfish that had washed ashore. The young girl was picking them up and throwing them back. Her father watched as she proceeded to throw the starfish back, one at a time. Then the father said, "You know honey that with so many starfish, you are not really going to make a difference". As the daughter picked up another starfish and threw it back into the water she replied with "it made a difference to that one".

That is what this is Team World Vision effort is about. If nothing else it is about helping one person at time. I've discovered this World Vision video that expresses the need in a way I could never hope to.
