Ministry Brands and Shelby Systems have just returned from a Vision Trip to El Salvador where we visited a Child Development Center that we are helping to sponsor. Jeanne Wilkinson of Compassion International joins us in the mountainous village of Caserio El Tablón to talk about what the team accomplished during the week. El Salvador is one of the most dangerous nations on Earth, and unfortunately the children seem to be suffering the most. Gang warfare, natural disasters, violent crime and extreme poverty are experienced daily. Together we’ll discover what can be done. Don’t miss this life-changing interview, and make sure you watch the end of the video for some fun music with Mike and the Compassion Band!

Inquoris “Inky” Johnson was a star football player at the University of Tennessee with just eight games to go before achieving his life-long dream of being drafted into the National Football League. He had overcome incredible odds (including extreme poverty and gangs in the neighborhood) to get to this point in his life. He was the first person in his family to attend college, and it was all just about to pay off when September 9, 2006 changed everything forever. Find out what happened on that day, and get to know our ISC 2016 keynote speaker a little better before the conference this summer in Orlando, FL. Be inspired by the faith and perseverance of Inky Johnson!
