See anyone you know? HIM's Straight Talk breakfast, May 18, with @Compassion president Wess Stafford (photos)

We had a great turn out on this past Monday, May 18, for breakfast and a time of informal Q&A with Compassion International president Wess Stafford. Wess shared some heart-wrenching personal stories, including his moment at 9 years old discovering his “destiny” to speak for and protect children who cannot speak for themselves.

A special note about the last photo: These are just some of the 50 Hawaii pastors who traveled with HIM to visit Compassion sites in the Philippines. Their churches and church members have together sponsored more than 2500 children and 20 Leadership Development Program (college students) in the last two years. Praise God for them!

We would love to hear your stories about HIM and Compassion, and God’s blessings in them. As always, email your stories to: yourstories@himonline.org

*We’ll soon upload to the HIM website the audio recording of Wess’ conversation with HIM co-founder Dan Chun. Check back at the HIM website soon. [http://himonline.org] You may also buy a CD by calling the HIM office at 808-988-9777.
