Please note I have not been able to check these offline sources personally but am assuming good faith (especially as someone who is verifiably the 14-year president of World Vision would be likely to have attracted significant coverage in reliable independent sources).  Googling "Mooneyham World Vision" turns up several other likely sources including an LA Times article. - DustFormsWords (talk) 06:20, 7 November 2011 (UTC)
