Emerson Drive just returned from a trip to El Salvador to visit with children and families who benefit from Compassion International which helps the families achieve a better life for themselves. “We were completely amazed by the incredible work that Compassion International is able to accomplish in the different parts of the world that are poverty stricken. Those who do the field work, have dedicated their lives to making this program succeed for each child that has a sponsor,” states lead vocalist Brad Mates. “I can not say enough about the smiles and tears that the families we visited, had for the Compassion staff who make such a huge difference in the day to day lives of the sponsored kids. We believe 110% in Compassion. We were fortunate enough to see what goes on first hand with their organization when we visited El Salvador, and we are anxious to continue our support of Compassion and their programs in the years to come.”
The band is now in the planning stages of carrying the message of Compassion International to country music fans.
