The ad mentions that further questions can be addressed to World Vision. Hopefully their supporters will ask why they would promote someone like Tony Campolo, who has made some very controversial, muddy statements. For example:
Tony Campolo’s hope of earthly perfection mocks the Biblical promise of eternal life:
“The gospel is not about… pie-in-the-sky when they die…. It is imperative that the up and coming generation recognize that the biblical Jesus was committed to the realization of a new social order in this world…. Becoming a Christian, therefore, is a call to social action.”[9]

http://www.crossroad.to/articles2/006/conspiracy2.htm]“On a recent edition of CNN’s Crossfire, Tony Campolo refused to say Jesus is the only way to heaven. The panel was discussing events at the Southern Baptist Convention in Atlanta. Campolo would not answer the question directly but said, “The Apostle Paul says that there are people who have light that is not Christian light, and they will be judged on that basis.”
In an earlier appearance on PBS’s Charlie Rose, Campolo muddied theological waters by stating, “I am saying that there is no salvation apart from Jesus; that’s my evangelical mindset. However, I am not convinced that Jesus only lives in Christians” (National Liberty Journal, 8/99). ”
