I have discovered this wonderful site over at compassion.com that works with child development in needy countries. The more I read, the more my heart aches to help these children. I am begging my mom to please let me have my own sponsor child that I can shower my love and compassion over. I am reading blogs from other compassion sponsors and I can feel the Lord’s call for me to help in any way I can.
My family already a sponsor a sweet girl in Kenya through a different organization and every month I write my own letter to her for my mom to include. I feel the call to help through compassion as well. I want to be a part of that family. It feels right. Now I just need my mom to be onboard with me.
Please help me pray for me to find a way to help a child through compassion. I know I can make a difference to a child somewhere, the Lord is telling me so!
Compassion;
Christ, Child, Church and Integrity commitment. What more can you ask for?
For only $38 a month you can connect your child with a loving, church-based Child Sponsorship Program that provides: food and clean water, medical care, educational opportunities and important life-skills training. Most important of all, your sponsored child will hear about Jesus Christ and be encouraged to develop a lifelong relationship with God.
Now I just wait for the day when I can sponsor a child myself through Compassion. Hopefully my prayers will soon be answered and the Lord Almighty may send a child my way. Please Lord, let me help, let me learn, let me grow.
Crystal, I am not sure if this might be something you are interested in or not.... but you can still build a relationship with a Compassion child. You see Compassion will allow you to write to a child who is already sponsored but the sponsor doesn't write. It is called a correspondence child. Compassion wants each child to have a relationship so they make it possible. We sponsor but we also correspond with two children. Hope I explained this ok. Just hop over to my blog and let me know what you think. :)

I didn't know that, Teena. Or well I knew that there is such a thing as a correspondence child but I was pretty sure you have to first sponsor a child to sign up for a correspondence one? I would love to do that! Thank you so much for telling me, now I will have to research some more. Or tomorrow I will have to research it. It's getting late and I need to go to bed, but first thing in the morning I will!!
ReplyDeleteThank you!
Great. We have several friends that have correspondence children!
