Too Small to Ignore: Why the Least of These Matters Most

The leader of Compassion International shares his inspiring boyhood adventures growing up in an African village and challenges us all to…Change the World One Child at a Time.

Why are children easy to ignore in the busy mainstream of life? They rarely cry out if overlooked-or worse, traumatised or abused. Yet it is vital for the future of humanity that we make children a priority in every area of life.

That’s the battle cry of Dr. Wess Stafford, who heads Compassion International.

In this moving manifesto-awarded the Best Evangelistic Resource of 2005 by Outreach magazine—he speaks for those who cannot speak for themselves. With inspiring true stories, Stafford delivers compelling arguments for championing children worldwide.

And his adventures as a boy raised in a West African village provide an often-humorous and always-captivating backdrop to his profound challenges.

Children are victimised by war, pornography, and prostitution, as well as by lack of funding, feeding, educating, and protecting. Yet in a few short years, the world’s challenges will be theirs to manage. Now is the time to act on their behalf and invest in children…because they are Too Small to Ignore.
