LDP students are Child Sponsorship graduates who through leadership, outstanding academic performace and evidenced Christian character have the opportunity to apply to the university of their choice in their own country. They must have references from Compassion staff and be accepted into their university. Then for $300 you can sponsor an LDP student through college! Amazing what we can provide with our resources! I pray continually for the children I sponsor to have an opportunity to become an LDP student! As a sponsor, you will be notified if your child does have an opportunity to be an LDP student and then you get to decide if you will sponsor them through that program! As far as having an opportunity to study in the US, this is the first ever scholarship that has been provided through Compassion for LDP grads to attend a US university. (The scholarship was funded by various Moody Bible Radio marathons) We hope to continue the Wess Stafford Moody Bible College Scholarship program in the future, but for now we love the 3 students we have! As a side note, they will all return to their home countries when their study at Moody is complete to impact their own nation with the knowledge and experiences they acquired while in the US. Feel free to check our web site for more information on LDP. http://www.compassion.com/about/programs/leadershipdevelopment.htm Hey Gayle,

How does a Compassion child become a LDP student? Is it usual for Compassion children who are going on to university to come to the US to study??? I loved reading this story, and thought of the children that we sponsor. I would love for the same opportunities for them. Who are LDP students? How does a Compassion child become a LDP student?

I would love nothing more than to spend time with more and more LDP students! They are all so impressive. I understand exactly what you're saying here -- and you put it all so well.

I know God has great plans in store for these 3 students. I hope we get to hear the Coke story from Richmond too. Thanks for keeping us updated!

I know when I was able to spend time with LDP students over the summer, it was probably more of an enriching experience for me than for them! That’s awesome!
