Releasing children from poverty in Jesus' name

Author: 
Audrey and David Mann

Behind the global statistics, behind the facts and figures, are individual children; children with names and families; with likes and dislikes; hopes and dreams. We may not be able to change the whole world, but we can change the life of an individual child. We can’t help everyone, but we can help someone.
