What a great story Jang Mi-Ran has, and how cool that she is a Compassion sponsor too. Do the hearts on the plant she’s holding in the first picture have pictures of her sponsored kids?

“I was a girl who was very depressed because of my appearance. However, the factor [my appearance] that I thought the weakest became the factor that I think the strongest.”

I hope comments like this one from Jang Mi-Ran inspire young women everywhere as they see how God worked through her to create something beautiful.

I hope to find a way to share her story with my two “daughters” in Africa just as I plan to with my own two daughters at home.

Thank you so much for sharing this story with us. There has been so much focus on Fellow lately but I am glad to hear about Jang Mi-Ran now. I love what she said about our weaknesses being made strong in Christ. What a wonderful way to bring Compassion full-circle with the strongest embracing the weakest, with South Korea now reaching out to Compassion’s newest country. Thank you SO much for sharing this with us! I am so glad to hear more about Jang Mi-Ran’s. She is a wonderful ambassador for Compassion and for South Korea, too.

I loved learning more about Jang Mi-Ran. How amazing to be the world’s strongest woman! To be the BEST at something in this world is an amazing accomplishment.

I appreciate what she says about the struggles in her own life. I think all of us have struggled with some aspect of our lives — from poverty, to insecurity, to difficult home situations, to personal adversities, to whatever. I think going through those things is what allows us to relate to the pain of others. It gifts us with empathy. The important thing is to take action and use the empathy and compassion we’ve been given to help others! Sponsoring children is such a great way to do that.

This is wonderful! A bit woman with a big heart. I think it is great that someone from the very first country that Compassion started working in is now sponsoring someone in the last country that Compassion started working in!

How does someone like that though obey the verse where it says to “lay aside every weight that so easily entangles us.” (I’m just kidding here! )

Let’s go for finding the next 1,000,000 children sponsored. If we keep growing this way in 50 years, we’ll have 1 Billion children sponsored!
