Coming Full Circle: The Anita Charles Story

This warms my heart! What a wonderful testimony! May God continue to get the glory!

WOW…THIS IS AN AMAZING STORY! GOD IS GOOD!!

Great story…!

What a wonderful testimony of how a sponsored child can go from being the blessed to being the blessing to another child in need! I would love to hear more stories like this from other people that were sponsored as children.

Thank you for this. I have heard Anita share her story on an advocate call, and it was wonderful to be able to see her share it and learn even more about her life.

Thanking Jesus for the depth of His riches…and how unsearchable his judgments, and his paths beyond tracing out! Rom 11:33.
Thanking my sponsors Glenn and Linda Abernathy for listening to God’s nudging and sponsoring me.
Thanking Compassion for making it happen!
The end product is a fulfilled Christian Adult!
May Gods name be praised….I’m forever grateful.

Thank you so much for put this online in a way that we can share with others. I’m so pleased to have met Anita recently — what an amazing young woman!

Thank you for your story! I sponsor girl from India and she just had a birthday on Monday!! I pray that one day she will be able to let people hear her story!! God is awesome!! Your story gives me hope as a sponsor!! Blessings!

Beautiful!!

Several years ago I had the pleasure of volunteering for Compassion at a radio event in Grand Rapids, Michigan. Along with my friend DeAnn we sat quietly in the room, anxiously awaiting our next phone call. During a somewhat slow period in the day, I’ll never ever forget that surprised and joyful look that fell upon DeAnn’s face as she answered her next call. Much to her surprise, on the other end of the line was none other than Anita. Now you should know that at the time DeAnn served as the volunteer team leader (AC) for West Michigan – the ‘go-to’ person for all things volunteer. Anita asked DeAnn if she might be able to help connect her with someone in the volunteer network – in an effort to share her story and bless other children. At this point, DeAnn could not help but let out a big laugh, saying something to the effect of, “As God would have it, actually you are speaking to this person on the phone right now.” God can be funny like that. Bless you Anita for being faithful and sharing your story!

We were blessed to meet Anita at a local Compassion Advocates gathering a few years ago, so this video was a blessing for us to see! Thank you for sharing! We’d like to share this on our blog as well if that’s alright?

Anita’s story continues to impact so many lives and her faithfulness to God is lived out daily. What an amazing woman of God!
