If you're listening to WAY-FM this week, you'll hear a lot about the "wrong" of poverty - some pretty devastating  and awful poverty - in the worl

I just started to sponsor Sury a few weeks ago through Compassion International. I've never had a child of my ow

Today was one of the most amazing days of my life. My wife and I got to meet our newest Compassion child, Maria. It is crazy to fall in love with someone in a matter of minutes but that is exactly what happened for both Mardi and me. This was an especially cool moment when I asked the group of kids

I wish I had paid more attention in Spanish class because tomorrow is the big day for us as we get to meet our newest sponsored child, Maria. She might be little, but she definitely has Sass-A-Tude. We can't wait to give her the things we bought just for her, but even more than that we are excited a

All next week Joy and I will be in Honduras working with Compassion International. While I am super excited about the chance to go overseas and seeing first hand the work that Compassion does...I am feeling super unprepared for my missions trip. So I figured who better to ask than the guy who goes o
