My 3 little ones have learned so much about poverty and our mandate to help others through their letter writing and relationships with their world-wide brothers and sisters. I think teaching our children the will of God is one of the most valuable gifts we can give them...

I've been reminded of all the children I've met (or heard about through sponsors) who consider their sponsor part of their family. In some cases, the sponsor becomes a parent for the child who has last a mom or dad. What a great family! And you're right--we can't develop this sponsor relationship or advocate ministry at the expense of our own families! Thank you — this is excellent.

Thankfully, God convicted me of it and things are changing around here, for the better!
