I sponsor a child with Compassion too and would recommend them highly. Sponsoring a child also serves as a great home school lesson that teaches about prayer, tithing, geography, writing, reading, culture and much more.

Well, if it’s any consolation, I found your blog through a fellow Compassion trip member and added you to my favs. I have loved reading all the stories and sharing laughs and tears. I have also been seriously trying to figure out what ‘want’ I’m going to give up so I can sponsor a child and possibly in the future go on a trip. I think what you guys did is awesome and admirable, and I have enjoyed every word! And Yikes! about the lizard! LOL

Mary, for what it’s worth, I really DO feel like you’ve been writing with an extra anointing this week. Hard to explain, but the passion and fervor were very much from the Holy Spirit, and you should rest in the knowledge that you have been a vessel used by Him; you have been faithful and He will do the rest. I have so much enjoyed your words and your perspective, and I used that same scripture in a post about Compassion that I did just yesterday! God’s heart is obvious…I pray also that many lives are changed for the better in the days and weeks to come.

All I can say is thank you for sharing this. Actually, it was convicting as I sat here in my office chair, in America, for I realized that I have the chance to make a difference and yet, I take that chance for granted so often. Thanks for reminding me to do my best for those who don’t have a voice.
