Christianity Today design director Gary Gnidovic and senior writer Tim Stafford returned safely from India where they were travelling for two weeks to capture stories on the Bhakt Singh movement and the Dalits. During a stop in Hyderabad, the Indian man they were interviewing stopped, looked at Tim Stafford, and asked, "Are you the Tim Stafford who wrote the article about microfinancing in Manila?" (Tim Stafford wrote a 2009 article for CT titled, "More Than Profits.") "As a result of that article," the man said, "we reorganized our entire microfinancing program!"

It's every writer's dream to know that readers are affected by their writing. But to learn that a man halfway around the world completely changed the way his organization does microfinancing as a result of Tim's reporting gave fresh significance to CT's mission to "change the people who change the world."
