Please pray for Elchina HA763. She is from the Sans Fil Child Development Center in Port-au-Prince. Please also pray for her brother Elchino, sister and mother.

I will pray for the other children as well. I am proud of Compassion for all they do and I know they will not cease until they can give some word to us sponsors about our child.

Jen, my prayers go out to you. I think you could use them.

Yesterday was Sonders 9th Birthday. Please pray for him and no matter where he is, I pray he is celebrating with Jesus. If anyone has information about HA804, please let me know. Thanks!

Thank you for keeping us informed Compassion. This video is really helpful.

Thanks also for getting back with me re: a young man Ulsa that we sponsored in the 70′s, before the electronic era of record keeping. Ulsa would be 48 now if alive. (He was our son’s age).

We continue to pray for him even though he suddenly disappeared from the Compassion program in high school. There has not been any way to reach him since then. But he shall always be in our hearts

We do know Ulsa knew Jesus, so loved Him, and was so appreciative of our support as we corresponded over the years. We believe Jesus has been watching over him since. Maybe they are even ‘together forever’ by now.
Heaven will tell all.

Thanks again for your wonderful organization that enables others like us to help children in the world. It was a very good experience and eye opener re: poverty in the world for our whole family in the 70′s…
So much more media about poverty now that we didn’t have.

is there any way to volunteer for the S.Florida warehouse (for those of us in this area?) I’ve heard it mentioned a few times, but no link to connect people to offer help.

Also, the ‘encourage the haiti team’ does not seem to be updating…has that been discontinued?

thank you for any info,

Please pray for my child, Lonise. I trust God to take care of her and her family, but I wish I knew if she was ok. It’s amazing how much you can love a child you’ve never met.

Praying for Wess and his staff each morning as well as our church body around the world working tirelessly to help “the least of these”, little children who need our help. I pray for one of my sponsored children, Linot, who lives in Haiti and another of my sponsored kids who I used to sponsor, but whose family had to move to a different area, Gregory. They are both wonderful young men and I am deeply concerned about them. I had just received a beautiful handwritten note from Linot and he is thriving under Compassion’s care. I now wait trusting the Lord, knowing that Linot knows the Lord and trusts Him. Please pray for Linot and Gregory. I have sponsored over 7 children with Compassion and I can tell you they are top notch. I received an email from them within hours of the earthquake letting me know that they were concerned about Linot and were working to assess his situation. I know they have good systems, but I know from my letters over many years that they are the real deal. Besides they regularly offer chances for sponsors to visit their children. Being a Compassion sponsor has been one of the greatest things I have done in my life.

We sponsored a girl Jean (HA-322) who has since grown upand is no longer sponsored. We ask for prayers for her and her family. If there is any way you would still have contact with her we would like to know if she is okay. She is still in our hearts and on our mind.

Please pray fro Roselanda and Watson whom we’ve sponsored for 16 years. Roselanda is in Port Eu Prince and Watson is up north. It’s sad people become word cops in these tragedies just looking to blame or accuse. There really is no place for that. Compassion is an excellent above reproach organization. I pray for Wess and all those on the ground trying to help and minister to the Haitian people. God Bless!
