Friday morning at Catalyst West, and Donald Miller is interviewing Gary Haugen, President and CEO of International Justice Mission. IJM is a human rights agency that secures justice for victims of slavery, sexual exploitation and other forms of violent oppression. I recently interviewed Lauren Johnson at the IJM headquarters in Washington, DC human trafficking.

Anyway, here at Catalyst West, Miller had just said, "What you do dictates the way people live," and then he asked Haugen what motivates him. Here's what he said:

if I don't get up and do what I do, a little girl will be forced into prostitution.

It's 11:18 am on Thursday at Catalyst West and Eugene Cho, founder and lead pastor at Quest Church in Seattle, is speaking. Here's a quote that will rock your world (it did mine):

Generosity is not just about blessing others.       It's about rescuing us from our greed.

Eugene launched One Day's Wages last year to fight global poverty. Here's what he says about the concept: "One day's wages = .4% of our annual salary = dramatic impact for those living in extreme poverty."

This is definitely resonating with the crowd, especially here in affluent Orange County!
