No. There aren't. Our Living the Legacy video is about as close as we've gotten. It's only three minutes long.

Thanks, Wes. You are a good storyteller. That’s the kind of story that we need to hear more of. Are there any full length documentaries from Compassion?

Today, I became a sponsor to a little girl in Columbia. I am so excited about the journey I will get to take with her. My prayers for her is that God will use her in a mighty way to help those around her.

Dear Mr. Stafford and Compassion Staff,
Thank you so much for your heart for God’s little ones. Your ministry truly reflects the love of Jesus for those in poverty. I am reminded of one of the verses my children and I are memorizing together:
“He who is kind to the poor lends to the Lord, and the Lord will reward him for what he has done.” Proverbs 19:17
Thank you for allowing us the opportunity through Compassion to reach out and share the love of Christ with our sponsored children.

Well said. Having just returned from a sponsors tour to Honduras, I saw the difference between the children in the Compassion program and those who were not. Now, I have the visual evidence of the difference Compassion can make in the life of a child growing up in poverty. My (just) 13 year old already knows that we wants to be an architect. He has a dream and a goal already. With God’s help, he will be able to make that dream a reality. Thank you Compassion, for helping these children know that they matter.

This is probably my favorite story that I’ve heard you tell, and it always brings tears to my eyes. What a wonderful transformation in this young man! Thank you so much for telling this story again.

Yes, Compassion is making a difference in the lives of children and their families. We are so glad to be apart of helping them cross those bridges to a better life that is full of hope in Jesus!
We too are even more determined to speak up for these children.
Thank you Compassion for letting us be apart of making a difference in our world for Jesus!

What is poverty? I think poverty is doubting or in other words unbelief that may stem from a lack of material things. And we all know what Philippians 2:14 says…14Do all things without grumbling and faultfinding and complaining [[l]against God] and [m]questioning and DOUBTING[among yourselves],
