Pitt wasn't first...

Heidi and I watched the Brad Pitt interview on ABC last night. No, it wasn't to find out the dish on his ended marriage or to hear about his new movie. We watched to see how a man with the media's attention turned the attention to a huge need in the world. I'm glad I watched.

But Brad Pitt isn't the first guy to leverage his popularity/celebrity/influence to the cause of justice. Check this out...

He has shown all you people what is good. And what does the LORD require of you? To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God.

Micah 6:8

I've included a banner ad for the One Campaign, which is a collection of organizations and people who are coming together to address issues of AIDS in Africa, extremem poverty, education, and justice. Check it out at the right.

Peace,

Matt
