Compassion International

Each day on "Speak Up With Compassion^®," the one-minute feature, you will hear the prayer of a child in poverty-first in their language, then in English. These heartfelt prayers of real children seek God's encouragement with questions that come not just from a life of poverty, but also of joy in being a child of God.

Once a week listeners hear from a child's heart about what they think about children in poverty. These powerful features are also available in "Compassion Children Feature" sets if your station needs specific programming for certain events.

Dr. Wess Stafford, President of Compassion International, responds with perspective and commentary to give you insight and practical action to "Speak Up With Compassion^®" for a needy child in "your" world!

Dr. Wess Stafford, who was raised in West Africa by missionary parents, provides his perspective and compelling commentary following the prayers. He enlightens and energizes listeners to action-right where they live.

Compassion international works with more than 65 denominations and numerous church partners in areas such has Africa, Asia, Central and South America. Since 1952, Compassion has touched the lives of more than a million children through its long term, holistic child development program. Compassion currently serves 1 million children in 25 countries.

Poverty, sickness and despair will not be remembered in the prayers of these previous children, but instead they will sound more like this...

"This is Ana. I thank you for all the rescues and blessings you've poured over me. Thank you for choosing me!"

Speak Up With Compassion^® is also being released in Canada with commentary voiced by Compassion Canada's President, Barry Slauenwhite. For more information, please contact Karen Taylor, National Director of Relational Development at (403) 283-0543
