But I have been in some very beautiful churches, then I've looked outside and seen people starving to death.

I went to Africa without the perspective of a balance between teaching people the truth, which has been my calling, and helping people who have physical problems, like AIDS and orphans and hunger.

Going to Africa was being able to take my volunteering and my passion for hospice one step further.

All missionaries, younger and older, serve with the sole hope of making life better for other people.

I'm in awe of the AIDS workers in Africa who teach there, year in and year out.

Missionaries serve to make life better for God's children.

There are some amazing stories from all over this country, where people's work and contribution has been acknowledged. To be part of that is an absolutely fantastic feeling.

People get numbed when they see picture after picture, year in and year out, of people starving.

I strongly believe that missionaries make better products. They care more. For a missionary, it's not just about the business. There has to be a business, and the business has to make sense, but that's not why you do it. You do it because you have something meaningful that motivates you.

There are 38,000 people dying of hunger each day and most are children. And, being a celebrity, I communicate about it as much as I can.
