For every one inmate there are countless family members abandoned and left to hold together what’s left of their broken lives. Providing them the personal and spiritual essentials of Effective Compassion is fairly straightforward. And that goes a long way to encouraging—or challenging—families to stay the course when it would be easier to give up on their loved ones behind bars. Bonnie Pritchett meets Christians in Texas working to show that God, who created the family, cares about theirs and they are not serving time on the outside alone.Support Effective Compassion today at wng.org/donate (http://wng.org/donate). Additional support comes from World Help, a Christian humanitarian organization working to deliver food and Bibles to starving, persecuted Christians in North Korea, one of the most dangerous nations for Christians. A gift of $20 sends a Bible and a week's worth of food to a North Korean brother or sister.

These partners use donations to print, ship, and secretly distribute Bibles as well as food to people who have been desperately praying for help. And since North Koreans share their Bibles with trusted family and friends, each copy impacts around five people. Click here (https://worldhelp.net/podcast/) to learn more and donate.
