World Changers

Posted on March 15, 2015 by Heidi Viars

“The ones who are crazy enough to think they can change the world,
are the ones who do.” (Apple)

I want to encourage a young man who has set his goal in life to change the world. All I want to say to him is, “Go for it, dude!”

He recently made a movie with his classmates. Life does not have to turn out a certain way. I believe God has given us the power to break chains, and pierce into the darkness of this world.
Here is this young man’s short video. I happen to think that this is just the beginning for him.

Let no one look down on your youthfulness,
but rather in speech, conduct, love, faith and purity,
show yourself an example of those who believe.
1 Timothy 4:12

About Heidi Viars

“If you look for truth, you may find comfort in the end; if you look for comfort you will not get either comfort or truth ...” ― C.S. Lewis ..... In my pursuit of self, I found utter darkness. In my pursuit of truth, I found Jesus, who dispelled the darkness by His forgiveness. Now I follow Him and try to understand Him better. I am a wife, mother of 6, blogger and love taking photographs of sunrises.

It takes so little to make such a big difference – one small shift from cruel to kind.

Very clever–the beeping timer, short snippets that maintain a quick-paced story, clever camera angles. SO encouraging to see kids making good use of their time, to make a difference in their world. Kudos to Corey and his friends!
