Loved your comment Caitlin–I want to see that slideshow of a million faces! Thanks for taking the time to talk with us, Wess. We’re all celebrating with you! And yes — I know we are committed to going out to find sponsors for the next million children! I think your prediction of getting them in five years is too high though…God often surprises us early…

@Kristen – You’re right, Mark did a really good job deflecting her digs towards positive remarks. I’m proud of him. They must’ve both been frustrated coming out of that interview. She was really riding that “angle” she had there. I wish we had at least seen pictures of the child and one of the sponsor, but I’m glad to see a representative of Compassion handle himself so amazingly.

I have to say I was disappointed with the piece on Fox News. We didn’t get to meet the sponsor and child. The interviewer tried to focus more on Christian Children’s Fund removing the word Christian from their name. I was proud that the Compassion VP did not follow her in condemning them for this but instead tried to keep the focus on Compassion and what they’re doing. I wish the piece would have focused more on the 1 million children!!

It is absolutely amazing to see that one million children have been touched by such a wonderful ministry.

I’m quite impressed Compassion!

This is wonderful news! My pastor would call this a “yay God moment.” Congrats, Compassion. It’s an honor to partner with your ministry.
