Richmond Wandera

Richmond Wandera, a former Compassion International sponsor child and founder of the Pastors Discipleship Network, shares his powerful journey from tragedy to triumph. He recounts the turning point in his life when a sponsor's 'yes' opened doors to education, faith, and leadership. Richmond's testimony highlights the profound impact of compassion, as he now trains thousands of pastors across East Africa. A surprise reunion with his sponsors adds an emotional twist, driving home the message that one act of kindness can change lives forever.

NT Wright and Richmond Wandera discuss the challenges and opportunities facing the church in Africa, including the impact of the church in helping the poor and needy, a personal story of hardship and hope in Uganda, the transformation and redemption through child sponsorship, and the idea of God's mysterious work in the global village.
