Sponsor a Child...Change their Life...and Yours!

I decided to join the other bloggers sharing their "Compassion" stories. Hopefully it will encourage someone out there to change a child's life...and their own...by the gift of sponsorship with just $32 a month. This gift may seem "small" in our well-off world where we often spend more on things most people in other parts of the world would consider pure luxuries. This "small" gift sent to a child's homeland through Compassion helps provide schooling, opportunities to learn about Jesus, food and medical care. It lets a child know there is hope for a better life, that someone outside their world CARES about them. It teaches them that GOD CARES about them.

to read Compassion stories other bloggers have shared and SHARE YOUR OWN. If you haven't already, let them INSPIRE you to share some of your blessings with a child that has so little!

We sponsor a girl in Colombia named Daniela, have since she was 3. She'll be 11 in June. We were given the chance to sponsor her after the young man that Rob had sponsored for a long time aged out of the program. It's wonderful to get her letters and pictures...she loves to draw. It's especially nice now that she can write them herself. For a long time someone in the project wrote them for her.

Go to http://www.compassion.com/ today and change a child's life...and yours! You'll be glad you did, and you won't miss that $1 a day, but it will mean SO much to the child you sponsor!

WOW! Visit this post on Shaun Groves blog to SEE how Compassion changed the life of a young woman named Prossy. Her future children won't need their services. http://www.shaungroves.com/shlog/comments/compassion_international_uganda_christines_answer_meet_prossy/

Sponsorship really DOES change the life of a child :) Now AND for future generations!

How wonderful! I've been wanting to sponsor a child for a long time. My husband and I are really discussing and praying about it now.
