Our family made a decision Saturday. We decided to sponsor a child through Compassion International.
A young lady spoke at the conference Todd attended. She is now in college, but for years she had a family from America who sponsored her. They wrote her letters and of course financially contributed to her as well. The testimony was amazing and it brought my husband to think about how easy it would be.
Last night after searching the website Olivia found her new "sister" Hailen. Hailen is almost six years old and lives in Columbia with her grandma and her dad. We are excited about being used by the Lord in her life.
How much do we take for granted, food, clean water, clothes, a roof over our head, and generally a little money left over. Every five seconds a child under the age of five dies because of mal-nutrition. Sometimes the problem seems too daunting, how can our little bit help, it will be insignificant. I can promise you, to Hailen our thirty bucks a month will be of huge significance.
