Generosity in quotes: Reid Trulson

“We face a challenge. About a third of today’s world population identifies as Christian, but that percentage was the same in 1900. We send many long-term missionaries around the world, but in 1900 we sent seven times more. We consider ourselves generous, but spend more on pet food than on religious causes and give an average of two cents per dollar to global mission. We are far too easily pleased.”
