Dear God . . . For Christmas, would you please bless my country and make it a place of rest?
God would like nothing more than to answer your sweet prayer, my little friend! And because of you, He will bless your country! This is Wess Stafford, President of Compassion International. During this Christmas season there are children all over the world whose lives, their very existence, is defined by war, competing religious factions, drought and famine. Sometimes, there's no way to help other than from a distance, and your prayers for a child in poverty move the heart of God! "Adopt" a child in prayer — this child! Pray for peace in her land! For her protection. An old proverb says, "Mercy is a voluntary sorrow that joins itself to the suffering of another!" This is Wess Stafford. Speak up with compassion — pray for the children of the world!
