Dear God. . .How was your town when you were little? The place where I live is very dangerous!
Jesus also grew up in a dangerous town, Fabiola. He knows what you're going through. And He has made it clear to us adults that we must be your champion — to love and protect His children. This is Wess Stafford, President of Compassion International. Be ready to do all you can to provide children an environment that fosters their health, safety, respect and dignity. It may mean challenging local legislators, school boards and social agencies. If advocacy is your strength, use it to champion the children in your community. Organize neighbors to help supervise local parks where children can play in safety. Open your church for after-school activities. Turn your loving intentions into strategic action to help a child! This is Wess Stafford. Speak up with compassion for the children in your world.
