What happens when a child called a "mistake" grows up to lead a movement serving 65,000 kids?

Can a letter really change a life? For Jonathan, it did.

This week on the Candace Cameron Bure Podcast, Jonathan shares the full story about how one heartfelt note from his sponsor became a turning point in his life. Raised in poverty and without the support of his father, Jonathan discovered hope not through material things, but through the love of Christ and a local church empowered by Compassion International.

In this powerful full conversation, Jonathan opens up about how his life transformed—through education, relationship, and ultimately, forgiveness. From tearful reconciliation with his father to now serving 65,000 children through Compassion’s work in the Dominican Republic, his story is a moving testimony of what can happen when someone chooses to care.

We’re better together. And this season, we’re doing something as a community to make a difference in the world.
