Compassion International – Give the Gift of a Lifetime

If you have been struggling with what to get for Christmas this year consider giving the gift of a lifetime through Compassion International.  If you are not familiar with Compassion International they are a Christian child advocacy group that provides kids with food, shelter, education and health care as well as Christian ministry. They help more than 1 million children on 25 countries to be released from poverty.

Here is how it works…you sign up to sponsor a child. You receive an informational package about your child. You write to your child and you receive letters from your child. You grow a relationship withyour child, get to know them, encourage them and just be a friend to them. The financial cost to you is $38 a month but the reward you gain by making a difference in the life of a child is priceless.

We have really enjoyed getting letters from our sponsored child and watching her grow over the years. It’s really been a blessing for us. So here is the pitch…if this sounds interesting to you there are plenty of unsponsored children waiting for you at Compassion International. We have been commissioned to try and find a sponsor this Christmas for a special little girl. Her name is Vanesa and she lives with her mother in Columbia. For fun she enjoys playing with dolls, hideandseek and running. If you would like to connect with Vanesa and make a difference in her life email me with your mailing address and I will send you all the information you need to get signed up with Compassion International to sponsor Vanesa. The sponsor card needs to be received by January 15th so don’t delay if you are interested.

Keep these kids in your prayers. The more we can do to help and encourage those in need the better the world will be. It’s up to each one of us to make a difference in the world.  Thanks for your time today.
