Story of Kim Phuc

This vivid image from June 8, 1972 is a 9-year-old girl from Vietnam who was severely burned over 75 percent of her body. Her clothes literally melted from her body. Several years ago I saw Kim tell her story of redemption and grace on the Oprah show. Oprah's show also highlighted other children's whose life stories changed the world, such as the little skeleton of a girl from Ethiopia and the child in the "dying room" in China.

Who stands up for our little children? Who protects our children and the children of the world? Who cares for the "least of these"?

Those to whom much is given, much is required.
