It makes a difference. "These two girls, (twins) I believe they
were 11 years old, had been in a Compassion project, and they were praying that
God would lead them to a way that they could sing and make a difference in the
world." Because they
knew Christ's hope, they were eager to share it. "We
went in there to pray for them and to hopefully bless then and to let them know
that Compassion was behind them and we love them and we support them. Every
single adult in that room was ministered to by these children. None of that would have happened without Compassion."
So what exactly does Compassion do? They are a Christian child advocacy ministry that helps children overcome spiritual, physical, economic and social poverty. By doing that, Compassion helps them to become responsible, fulfilled Christian adults.
Compassion's work in Colombia began in 1974. Today, they are working with nearly 36,000 children in 156 projects. Compassion partners with churches to help them provide Colombian children with the opportunity to rise above their circumstances and become all God has created them to be.
That's a large part of why WCSG partnered with Compassion. They were trying to encourage the body of Christ from West Michigan into action. As a result of their two-day awareness blitz, WCSG's listeners sponsored 725 children. Click here if you want to help.
