• I think vision is highly overrated today. I think what really blesses a ministry is, if you want the power of God in your life, its humility and integrity.

A lot of people have vision just based on ego, but it's in that dependence upon God that we get His vision and develop more trust in Him.

  Rick Warren

  Integrity, Humble, Humility
