Dear God . . . Why do we have wars?
Alex, what an insightful question! Right or wrong, adults declare wars that children fight and die for! This is Wess Stafford, President of Compassion International. Everett Swanson's heart was broken by children left destitute by the Korean war. In 1952 he founded Compassion to provide those orphans with food, shelter, education, health care and Christian training. Today, through the help of caring sponsors, we're loving and protecting more than 770,000 children in over 20 countries. An Army general and later president of the U.S. said, "Every gun made, every warship launched, every rocket fired, in the final sense, is a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and not clothed." This is Wess Stafford. Speak up with compassion! Do all you can for a child in need!
