Dear God. . .Why do parents make their children work in the streets?
Jonatan, thank you for your sensitive heart! If the church was doing what God expects of it, children wouldn't have to work in the streets. This is Wess Stafford, President of Compassion International. Children all over the world — are waiting for the ears of the church to hear. Your ears. And mine. My prayer is that their lives will be radically changed because we believers hear their cries — and are moved with compassion to act! Is God calling you to mentor a child? Is He laying on your heart a short-term missions project? Are you feeling God's tug at your heart to sponsor a child? Proverbs 31:8 says, "Speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves, for the rights of all who are destitute!" This is Wess Stafford. Speak up with compassion. There's a child who needs you!
