Dear God ... Why can't I live with my parents?
God hears you and wants to comfort you all the more, little Carolina. This is Wess Stafford, President of Compassion International. Carolina's parents abandoned her years ago. She lives with her elderly grandfather who also takes care of three other children. These stories can be so overwhelming, it's easy to give up and throw in the towel. Why bother? The task is too great. I don't believe God expects you to solve the problems of all the children in the world. But you can touch one child! Can you read a story? Lead a song? Play a game? Bake cookies? Organize a hike? Pray for a missionary family? Give? Write a letter to a child? This is Wess Stafford. Say "yes" and Speak Up With Compassion — one child at a time!
