Compassion

Some of my favorite bloggers, Sophie and Shannon, are in Africa this week visiting children & families that are sponsered by Compassion. Compassion's mission statement is "Releasing children from poverty in Jesus' name". I have been very convicted about how much we have and how much I take for granted. I just signed up to sponser a little 3 year old girl from Uganda. My friend Ruth, who already sponsers a child, suggested picking a child the same age & gender as your own child. I thought that was a great idea -- so Aubrey can write letters to her and we can pray for her, etc. Check out Compassion's web site and see how you can sponsor a child in need, too!
Here's little Nomugisha, isn't she cute?
