The Overcomers with Matt Chandler

Overcoming Poverty with Richmond Wandera


Listen Later

On this special bonus episode of The Overcomers, I get to sit down with Pastor Richmond Wandera. Growing up in the slums of Naguru, Uganda, Richmond experienced a life that few could imagine. After the murder of his father, his family was plunged into poverty; a life where survival became the primary focus. Richmond shares about his transformative journey from hopeless adversity to passionate advocacy for children's rights and the local church. His life took an unexpected turn when his mother sought help from a local church, an act that would bring Compassion International into their lives and set Richmond on a path toward hope and healing.

Lauren and I love the mission of Compassion International and have sponsored children through Compassion for almost the entirety of our marriage. We believe in Compassion’s mission to release children from poverty in Jesus’ name. When you sponsor a child, you ensure access to quality education, medical checkups, healthy food, clean water and most importantly, the love of Jesus. 

My goal is to get 100 kids sponsored by partnering with Compassion. I hope you’ll join me in sponsoring a child through Compassion today.

All you have to do is pull out your phone, open up a text and text Overcomers to 83393. You can also go to Compassion.com/Overcomers to choose a boy or girl to sponsor.
