Melody Carlson
“Mostly I think I've learned to trust God more. I mean, if I start getting worried or freaked, I just try to put it in God's hands. Sometimes I imagine God cradling the globe in his hands, and I tell myself that as long as I'm with God, the Creator of the universe, I can be comfortable and at home anyplace on the planet.”
― Melody Carlson, Mexico

Israelmore Ayivor
“Your potentials contain local elements that can react with your passion to produce global compounds for the solution of the world’s problems. Go and do it.”
― Israelmore Ayivor, Shaping the dream
