Last night, Jon and I had the great privilege to volunteer at the Compassion booth of a Matthew West concert. It brings me great joy to meet other sponsors and share compassion stories. Living in a small rural area we do not get enough opportunities to do this. Last night was wonderful; 33 children were sponsored! That does not mean 33 lives are now forever changed. It means many more than 33 lives were changed last night. Of course the child and the sponsor, but that child's entire family will be affected by that sponsorship along with the entire family or youth group that sponsored them. Also, the friends and neighbors of both parties will be changed. The child's family will be able to have an unbelievable testimony to all in their communities. The sponsor will now find themselves eager to share about this child, who has, by divine appointment, stepped into their world and who prays for them regularly!
Distance and time is nothing for God! I have found that a fourth of the way around the world or even half way around the world really is not that far!
If you have never sponsored a child I encourage you to do so. Go to
www.compassioninternational.com and become HOPE to a child! You will be changed FOREVER! Who doesn't like to help children......they are the future!
