OF THE 2.2 BILLION CHILDREN IN OUR WORLD TODAY, NEARLY HALF LIVE IN DESPERATE CONDITIONS, AND YET IT IS THE CHILDREN WHO HOLD THE POTENTIAL TO BREAK THE CYCLE OF DEPRIVATION FOR FUTURE GENERATIONS.

THE BIBLE SAYS THAT CHILDREN ARE "A GIFT FROM GOD" AND HE IS THEIR GREATEST DEFENDER. TIME AND AGAIN, THE BIBLE DESCRIBES GOD AS A DEFENDER AND PROTECTOR OF THE POOR, THE OPPRESSED, ABUSED, IMPOVERISHED AND THE FATHERLESS.

ALL CHILDREN ARE PRECIOUS IN GOD'S SIGHT. HIS HEART IS MOST DEFINITELY ENDEARED TOWARD THEM AND HIS EAR INCLINES TO THEIR WORSHIP (PSALM 8:2). WE ARE TOLD THAT THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN BELONGS TO SUCH AS THESE (MATTHEW 19:14).

BUT WHAT OF THE 1.1 BILLION CHILDREN WHO ARE HOMELESS BECAUSE OF ARMED CONFLICT, OR WHO HAVE BEEN ORPHANED BECAUSE OF THE SCOURGE OF AIDS, OR MALNOURISHED AND CAN'T REMEMBER WHEN THEY LAST HAD A BITE OF FOOD, OR THE ONES WHO ARE CONTINUALLY ILL BECAUSE THEY CAN'T AFFORD MALARIA MEDICATION?

THEY DON'T SHOUT THE LOUDEST; INDEED, MANY SEEM TO HAVE NO VOICE AT ALL. BUT IT DOESN'T MEAN THAT THEIR CRY SHOULD NOT BE HEARD, AND THIS IS WHERE WE STEP IN.

COMPASSION EXISTS FOR THE ONE.

SPONSOR A CHILD TODAY, AND RELEASE THEM FROM POVERTY IN JESUS' NAME.
