“Let me urge today’s
teachers never to underestimate the worth of a child,
especially the one that comes from a broken home.
Locked inside that child is a soul worth more than
all the possessions of the world. Someday that boy
or girl may remember you the way I recall my teacher,
Mrs. Baldwin, and thank you for the contribution you
made to his or her life.”
—Mrs. Shirley Dobson, Chairman, National
Day of Prayer Task Force; Cofounder, Focus on the
Family
“Dr. Henrietta Mears was truly
one of the great women of the twentieth century and
one of the greatest influences of my life. Through
her Sunday School classes, she directly discipled
hundreds of young men and women whom God led into
full-time ministry. Her life was a life of spiritual
multiplication.”
—Dr. Bill Bright, Founder and Chairman Campus
Crusade for Christ International
