Dear God . . . Why aren't families closer — there's a lot of child abuse?
You're so right, my caring little buddy! And we who can make a difference, must do everything possible so children are protected! This is Wess Stafford, President of Compassion International. Jesus made a radical statement when He said, "Whoever wants to be first must be last of all and servant of all." It turns the world's system of power upside down. Not so children can be used and abused, but so that children are nurtured, protected and served. Be informed about child exploitation through organizations like UNICEF, International Justice Mission and Human Rights Watch. When you know what children suffer, you cannot help but respond — in your church, to your friends, as a volunteer advocate! This is Wess Stafford. peak up with compassion. Be the voice for a neglected, abandoned and abused child!
