Dear God. . .Do you love kids?
Ah little buddy, you couldn't have asked a better question! God not only loves kids — He has commanded all of us to love you! And to serve and care for you! This is Wess Stafford, President of Compassion International. Poverty sends a defeating, painful message into the heart of a child. A message that says, "You don't matter." But every child should be given an opportunity to learn how much they matter to Jesus. Be an advocate for a child. A friend. A mentor. A sponsor. Serve as a tutor at your local school. There are dozens of ways you can reach out to a child in need. Just spending time with them defeats poverty's message and says "You do matter." This is Wess Stafford. Speak up with compassion for a child in your world.
