About 13 years ago I was working with Dancing with the Stars Champion, Emmitt Smith. Although one would think that working for him was a huge privilege, my reward and most prized connecton came when I met Larry and Frances Jones of Feed the Children. Larry was a warm gentle man, extremely soft spoken and he had a sparkle in his eyes everytime he spoke about the children.
Larry consulted me when I talked about my dreams for starting my non-profit. He has always had time for my phone calls and when I picked up his new book, Keep Walking: One Man's Journey to Feed the World One Child at a Time , I knew I had to get Larry on our show.
This man has a message and it's one you can't afford to miss. Be sure to join me this Saturday at 9:00-10:00AM on 990AM KFCD.
Here is a review from his book, Keep Walking:
“Keep Walking is a must-read for anyone who ever thought humanitarian work is easy. Larry Jones has been stranded 10,000 miles from home while hustling food to the starving on both sides of warring enemy lines. He and Feed The Children have been the first to arrive and the last to leave the world’s most horrific natural disasters and acts of terrorism. Our nation is looking for a hero. It need not look beyond Larry Jones.”
—Lee Iacocca
“Larry Jones touches your heart and soul with the things that touch the heart and soul of God. He is a master storyteller, a consummate humanitarian, a compellingly insightful evangelist trying to make the world work for the people that it doesn’t work for. He is friend to all and beloved by those he serves who will never know him. Read this book and you will have an expanded soul too.”
—Mark Victor Hansen
Good for people to know.
