Dear God ... Would You help my friends? They're eating trash.
This is the kind of prayer that breaks my heart. When you see what Elias sees, it compels you to do something about it! To reach out. This is Wess Stafford, President of Compassion International. I'm going to suggest something a little different for this year's family vacation. Instead of going to an exotic resort area like Hawaii, go on a mission trip. Experience firsthand children and families in poverty. See the challenges they face — and their joy as they take on those challenges! The tears and the laughter of those who have so little will change your life and the lives of your children. I guarantee you'll be welcomed with open arms and hearts. This is Wess Stafford. Speak Up With Compassion. See for yourself the children of the world.
