I learnt this from Hillsong by Robert Barriger (one of my heroes!)
"A Lot Can Be Done If No One Cares Who Gets The Credit."
Found this to be so true in the story he shared. His church have given out thousands of free wheelchairs in Peru and been an amazing impact on that country. When they first got those huge amounts of wheelchairs, they wondered how to distribute them to the needy. In the end, their solution was the mayors. The mayors were asked to distribute the wheelchairs FREE, in return that the Gospel could be preached. BUT, the mayors were allowed the credit. So imagine headlines telling of philanthropic mayors - that was what happened. But the fact that was needs were met, the disabled got their wheelchairs and the Gospel was preached to thousands. All because no one cared who got the credit. But that God's heartbeat and human needs were placed first above all.
