Thank you for the message in this post, Chris… thank you for being open and honest about your feelings and your struggles with those feelings.

I am really excited about OurCompassion. I just joined, starting adding friends who sponsor children in the same two centers that our sponsored girls go to, and I hope we can connect, share, and learn from each other.

Love this Chris. I am in the UK and I too feel closer to my child in Burkina Faso after contact with a fellow sponsor in the US who sent me some fab photos of his visit to the village where my child lives. Great site and hopefully I will get better at using it as time goes on.

OurCompassion has been an encouragement to our family. I’ve become connected with someone who sponsors one of our child’s sisters. This other sponsor even visited the girls and the rest of their family this past spring and has been sharing with us about the family and the project there. She’s soon going to send us some pictures, which we’re looking forward to!

Chris,
Lindy is my mother and she always reads the Compassion blog before I do and leaves a comment which is always exactly what I’m thinking. : ) Thanks, Mom, for your heart for children. I love you! And thank you, Chris!

@Cheri – We’re working with our tour department to get “official” tour groups set up in advance of the trips going out in September so that there is a focal point for sharing before the trips, during the trips and after.

They’ll be contacting you about it when everything is ready.

Chris
Totally agree with everyone that OurCompassion is amazing and is helping us connect and making things more personal. I am going on the Honduras trip in September and have already found 2 people that are also going on the trip. Planning on taking lots of photos and posting them so others can get a glimpse of their child. It is a great place to meet, pray, share ideas and encourage each other. Thanks for the post!
