Publisher's Synopsis

What Are You Going to Do? tells an inspiring true story. In the early 1950s, war scattered hundreds of thousands of orphans across South Korea. Many Koreans sacrificed everything to help. When Everett Swanson arrived to preach to troops on the front lines, he stumbled upon starving orphans. The plight of these children broke his heart. He faced the question: "What are you going to do?"

Authors Matt Bronleewe and Eric Wilson tell how Swanson's answer to those six little words led to the organization known today as Compassion International. Seventy years later, Compassion International sponsors over two million children all over the world, providing meals, education, vocational training, Bibles, letters of support, and more.

We are often faced with the same question, "What am I going to do?" And, like Swanson, we feel inadequate, afraid, or ill-equipped. Readers will see how small faithful choices can lead to larger ones-and in so doing, change the world for generations to come. Everyone-young and old-should be acquainted with this amazing story of faith, courage, and compassion.
