From Fighting to Grace: Jonathan’s Story

Описание: Jonathan grew up in an era in the Dominican Republic marked by crime and unrest. As a child, he spent days without food sometimes and had to learn to fight to survive - literally and emotionally.

At seven years old, Jonathan was enrolled in a Compassion project through his local church. However, things didn't change immediately. He frequently got into fights and was nearly expelled. After one particularly violent fight, a staff member named Dulce looked him in the eye and said, "You don’t have to fight. We love you.”

This moment of unexpected grace changed Jonathan's life forever and gave him a taste of the Gospel in action.

Today, Jonathan works with Compassion, advocating for the children living in the same conditions that he once faced.
