What if we never heard the story of how David slew Goliath? Or the story about Jesus rebuking the storm? How about when Elijah brought the widow’s son back to life?
Honestly … think of your faith without all those miraculous stories.
I can’t do it. I can’t think of my faith without thinking about the great things the Lord has done.
- When I need patience, I think of Abraham.
- When I need strength, I think of Ruth.
- When I need to work on truly seeking the face of the Lord, I think of David.
- When I want to understand how to love more, I think of all the ways Jesus loved everyone … and that’s a lot of stories.
The Lord has let us in. We have access to knowing what He has done and the outcomes He has produced.
As you may know, I am a big fan of stories. Coming to Compassion has only made me fall more in love with stories. Stories take what I cannot see or comprehend and make it a reality for me.
It just so happens that Compassion is overflowing with stories:
- Stories about the impact you make in the lives of children in poverty.
- A story about young adults who are working toward becoming doctors, teachers, engineers … because of their child development centers.
- Stories about our church partners.
Of course, the challenge is getting these wonderful stories to you, our faithful sponsors.
Oh, wait! It’s not that big of a challenge. We have the blog 
and then, there’s our Impact e-Newsletter.
