Too Small to Ignore

Now in paperback with Study Guide!

The award-winning book, Too Small to Ignore: Why The Least of These Matters Most is the powerful story of Wess Stafford's boyhood adventures in Africa, his dramatic calling to minister to children, and why we as Christians are called to speak up for children.

Using inspiring true stories from his childhood in a small African village and many years of child development experience as President of Compassion International, Dr. Stafford paints a vivid picture of how the world's children are so often ignored in today's society...and how that is so far from what God intended.

This moving manifesto unveils God's heart for children and the poor, while offering real-world suggestions and resources to help us fulfill the calling to reach out to "the least of these." View this moving video montage of Wess sharing his heart and his life's mission.
