<blockquote><p>&#8220;Does Compassion’s ministry <em>really</em> work? Compassion knows how to share stories, but how do I know it’s actually making the difference they claim?&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p>Guess what? We’ve wondered the same thing. So 11 years ago we set out to get proof.   We started a program called &#8220;It Works.&#8221; The idea behind this program was to provide undeniable evidence that Compassion is changing lives.</p>
<p>It Works documents the progress of children in Compassion’s programs. We choose our &#8220;case studies.&#8221; Then we interview, photograph and film the children and their families. Five to seven years later we return to see what God has done. Being 11 years into the program, we are now on our second round of return trips.</p>
<p>During last week&#8217;s chapel time we got to see this video and it was too exciting to keep to ourselves.</p>
<p>Meet Maila.<br />
