Hi Lisa, I’m Angie from Malaysia. I saw your photo ( mother & child), the photo is very moving and beautiful. Currently i’m helping a campaign called Musawah movement. Musawah means Gender equality for muslim women in the family. http://www.musawah.org/

I’m here to ask your permission if we can use this photo in our video. This video will be uploaded to youtube. The video is meant to tell the global that gender equality is necessary and possible. This project in non profit project. It is meant to help everyone or anyone who face the same issues.

Thank you Chris.

I’ve said my prayers and will trust and obey.

Please pray that I will be the best sponsor I can be to these children – spiritually and emotionally.

Thanks again.

Kelly,

Thank you for sharing the Lord’s love with these children. Thank you for stepping out in faith, particularly at a time when the economy is messed up and you’re not where you want to be financially.

I have long felt the need to reach out to a child. The constant feeling that I needed to do something – but what? I frequent a blog that not too long ago had posts about a Compassion trip. Boy, did I feel a major pull reading those posts. Reading the blogs of bloggers who have made compassion trips made the feelings so much stronger…How could I not sponsor a child? Financially, I am not where I would like to be but are we ever? This past week I was reading a blog and the blogger was talking about adoption and if not adoption sponsoring or mentoring and then at the end of the post was this scripture:

Once our eyes are opened we cannot pretend we do not know what to do. God, who weighs our hearts and keeps our souls knows we know and holds us responsible to act.
Proverbs 24:12

I went to the Compassion website and sponsored not one but two children. It feels right.

Hi Lisa,
Yes, I agree with you wholeheartedly. Motherhood “blew me away”.Many times, it has been the thought of being a mom in situations of crisis that has brought me to tears and many intercessory prayers! Keep up the blogging!

Melissa you are amazing — 9 sponsored children, your adult kids also sponsor, AND they are hoping to do missions work, as well. Wow! I think that’s great! What a wonderful example you must be to your kids — they are clearly walking in your footsteps.

And, Advocate, I will be in prayer for you on Sunday. I just pray that God uses you to plant a seed in the hearts and minds of the people you speak to. I have to tell you — I heard my first Compassion presentation at age 18 — and I didn’t commit to sponsoring until I was 35. Even though I didn’t sign up at that first presentation, the seed was planted!

Thank you for taking the time to write beautifully!

My daughter has “every color” playdough (mixed with Daddy’s water from dinner) on the patio table as I write.

I am presenting Compassion at a church on Sunday. Please pray.

Thank you, Lisa!

This post really resonated with me. I am constantly blinking back tears when I am on the compassion website.

I felt bad that I did not have a successful fasting day on June, 25th. However, we do sponsor nine children in various countries (our children ages eleven through eighteen help with the correspondence and contribute their own money as they can.) Our 21 year old son sponsors his own child and two of our daughters are hoping to go on Brio missions next summer and meet the two girls from Guatemala that they support.

I think our four year old twins are growing up with the perspective that sponsoring children is what people do.

I wish wish we could sponsor a thousand. We can never be reminded too often that we are STEWARDS of God’s gifts and should always be focused on how to give back to Him.

Thanks for another reminder!!!!!

Dear Lisa,

Thanks for your story and your encouragement with that. It’s so good to hear these things over and over again. And your story brings me to tears… good tears though, tears of compassion, tears of “thinking this over” tears of happiness because Compassion DOES bring hope in Jesus name! If you’re alright with it, I’ll quote you (in Dutch though, as most of my blog readers are Dutch) on what you said!

Thanks for sharing!
Wendy
