00:01 - You know, we are inspired on so many levels-
00:03 but JD asked a question during the newsbreak
00:06 of our special guest, Jonathan Duffy, and
00:09 the question was, "Is there a curriculum to
00:14 teach people world development for management projects?
00:17 And what are you looking for for people to work for
00:20 you?" - It's always a challenging question,
00:24 because people are passionate to help others in as many ways
00:28 in which they can volunteer. But sadly, when we are
00:31 an agency such as ADRA, there is a professional
00:35 level that we have. Now, we need a variety of
00:38 skills, we need people with good HR skills,
00:40 we need people with finance... But ultimately, it comes
00:43 down to our programming skills and our emergency
00:46 response. And for young people who'd like to find
00:48 a career in this, then there are courses that
00:51 they can do in national development. There is
00:56 Southern Adventist University, Andrews University, Friedensau
01:00 Adventist University in Germany, Avondale College
01:02 in Australia, and in fact we're working with Middle
01:07 East Adventist University for a curriculum at the moment,
01:10 as well, where there's a huge crisis within the
01:14 Middle East. We haven't even touched on some of
01:16 those issues that are happening there. And so
01:20 for young people, there is a career opportunity
01:22 to do that. We do need professional young people.
01:26 An organization is only as good as the people
01:29 who work for it. - Amen. - And it's not just a normal
01:33 career; we need people who are driven by mission.
01:36 We need people who are driven by wanting to speak
01:39 out and act justly... - Amen. - ...who can love mercy,
01:42 who can show God's compassion. - What a
01:45 great closing statement. Thank you so much for
01:48 being here, Jonathan, and thank you for joining us.
01:50 Our prayer for you is that the grace of our Lord and
01:54 Savior, Jesus Christ, the love of the Father, and
01:56 the fellowship of the Holy Spirit will be with you always.
