Spiritual and Physical Needs

During the last training I read a Franklin Graham quote and a few people asked if I could send it to them. I also decided to post it here since it is so relevant to the work we are doing.

If you only see the physical needs, you will become a humanitarian. If you only see his mental need, you will become an educator. If you only see his political oppression, you will become a revolutionary or a politician. And if you only see his spiritual needs, you will become a religionist. It is seeing the whole man, with a strong emphasis on the spiritual, when you become a Christian witness, a missionary, and evangelist and communicator of God's words.
