World Vision


  • Bridges normally build from one side to the other, one side has to start.
  • Bridges move us between different worlds that have been separated.
  • Bridge building is usually expensive, risky, and only later is applauded.
  • Bridges must allow themselves to be walked on from both sides.
  • Bridges unite worlds.
