Dear God . . . I can't afford to buy a bicycle. Is it because I don't have enough faith?
God knows the best time to answer your prayer, Joko. Be patient and keep praying! This is Wess Stafford, President of Compassion International. For this young boy — a bike is dreaming a big dream! Last year, we took a group of Christian broadcasters to visit a Compassion project. They met children in unbelievable poverty who come to the project each day. One sponsor asked a little guy what he dreams of. He said, "a bike!" But quickly added, "it doesn't have to be new!" A few months later — that little guy had the surprise of his life. A NEW bike! Sometimes one dream coming true is all it takes to have faith in a future of dreams coming true. This is Wess Stafford. Speak Up With Compassion. Help a child dream big dreams!
