Dear God ... Why was I born poor?
Without hope in Christ — the poverty of this child will not only stunt her physical growth, but her spiritual growth! This is Wess Stafford, President of Compassion International. Hanging in the oval office of President George W. Bush, is the painting of a man on horseback, leading a charge up a steep hill. His face, full of determination — he clearly expects to get the job done. The painting is called, "A Charge to Keep." That painting reminds me that we can overcome tough challenges. And certainly, one of them is rescuing children from poverty. It will take commitment. One that says, "I will be involved. I will be a voice for children." This is Wess Stafford. Make children "A Charge to Keep." Speak Up With Compassion!
