		<description>You&#039;re very good at breaking down systems and explaining them. This really helps to understand a little bit more of how such a corporation works.

I&#039;m pumped to hear the next few reports, keep them coming.</description>

		<description>Thank you, I sponsor b/c of Jesus not the kids.  Jesus is the only reason I was able to save enough money to visit some of the kids I sponsor.  And sharing and encouraging Jesus is the only reason I believe in sponsoring.  The kids are precious and priceless and created in God&#039;s image and Jesus lives in many of their hearts, but for me it&#039;s Jesus empowering me to sponsor and visit and to believe in the difference HE is making.  Philippians 1:6 &quot;He who began a good work in you will be faithful to complete it until the day of Christ Jesus.&quot;  If God can do this in me, He can do it in the kids I sponsor, that is why I sponsor b/c of the work Jesus is doing in the lives of the kids, not the kids.  It is almost one in the same, but not quite to me.  Also I want them to realize they are not the reason I sponsor, Jesus is the reason I sponsor!  Jesus is the only one who will always be there for me even after I die ;)  I think that is what is so great about Jesus once you have Him it&#039;s impossible to lose Him and He doesn&#039;t run out.  &quot;Give someone a fish, feed him for a day.&quot;  
&quot;Give someone Jesus and you&#039;ve given him eternal life!!!!!!!&quot;  My sponsorship at some point will run out but what will not I believe is the encouragement and strength the kid&#039;s received from God&#039;s Word.</description>
