Rick Warren
“The Spirit of the Lord is on me, because he has anointed me 
<div class="versecontainer">To preach good news to the poor; 
He has sent me to heal the brokenhearted, 
To proclaim freedom for the prisoners, 
To recover the sight of the blind, 
To release the oppressed and proclaim the year of the Lord’s favor.”  Luke 4:18-19 (NKJV) </div>

THE P.E.A.C.E. PLAN: JESUS’ STRATEGY
<blockquote>Promote reconciliation 
Equip servant leaders 
Assist the poor 
Care for the sick 
Educate the next generation</blockquote>
<div class="versecontainer"> “… I have become a servant of everyone so that I can bring them to Christ… When I am with those who follow Jewish laws, I do the same, even though I am not subject to the law, so that I can bring them to Christ. When I am with Gentiles… I fit in with them as much as I can… so I can bring them to Christ. But I do not discard the law of God; I obey the law of Christ. When I am with those who are oppressed, I share their oppression so that I might bring them to Christ. I try to find common ground with everyone so that I might bring them to Christ. I do all this for the sake of the Good News, and in doing so I enjoy its blessings.” 1 Cor. 9:19-23 (NLT) 
</div>
