Want to do something amazing? Go here. You’re just a few clicks away from making Jesus smile. No, really. Helping lift kids out of poverty is probably in the top 5 of Jesus’ “What I Want My Followers To Do Today” list. Heck! Maybe top 3! Compassion International is the bridge between you and those kids. It’s a great organization. I know first hand. I’ve visited 2 Compassion projects in Lima, Peru multiple times. We sponsor a little girl in Lima and have seen with our own eyes the incredible impact $32 dollars a month has had on her and her family. Need more reasons? Here are a few:
- You will fall in love.
- You will change a child’s life forever.
- Tax deduction.
- The thrill of sacrifice.
- You’ll be obeying the two most important commands. (Mk. 12:29)
- You will make a new friend (I have a notebook full of letters our compassion kids have sent us).
- You will learn about a new culture.
- You will teach your kids (or roommate or whoever) to love God by loving people.
- One less kid will go to bed hungry tonite.
And if that’s not enough, maybe a picture of our beautiful girl in Lima will do the trick . . . Actually, I’m just a proud sponsor who wants to show off his kid.
Do you sponsor a kid?
She is beautiful! Right now I’m deep in a fundraiser for AR Children’s hospital to raise spare change for their Radiothon. I think my sister sponsors a child in Guatemala.
Susan » Cool. How are you helping with the fundraiser?
Way to go and break my heart. I fully intend to fund a child once we’re on our feet financially.
