Dear God . . . Who will I live with if I don't have parents?
My little friend, I know it's a scary thought. But your parents are doing everything they can to keep you all safe and together! This is Wess Stafford, President of Compassion International. This is a real prayer from a real child. A child whose parents have died of disease, flood and famine, leaving their children behind with no one to take care of them. In developing countries of the world,one in every 13 children suffer the death of at least one parent. For children in deep poverty the loss of a parent, especially a mother, can take a lasting toll on their health. But you can pray. You can sponsor a child. You can "go" where children are at risk. This is Wess Stafford. Speak up with compassion for a child in need!
