This time last year we had 2 Compassion children. We thought that if things are getting tough for us, then how much tougher must things be for those who already had problems making ends meet. Our sponsored children are family and family comes first. Geri We sponsor 7 children with Compassion along with a few more through other sponsorship agencies.

Frankly, I would rather give my money to support these children than to any church I have attended over the years. I only give money to a church if they have programs for feeding the poor and helping the community in other ways.

When I found out that I got a job for this summer, the first thing I thought was, "hmmm..maybe I can sponsor another child!" Money is no obstacle to God.

I know that we've talked with some potential sponsors at Compassion Sunday as seeing it as part of their tithe, which helps both myself and the other guy I've been working with. By seeing it that way, it comes right off the top before anything else even takes consideration. That helps! I love my kids even though I've only been sponsoring since December and I wouldn't want to have to give them up for anything! Of course, I'm also VERY VERY blessed to have a fairly stable job during these hard times. I don't know how it would be if I actually was in fear of losing my job but I can hope that I'd still feel the same way. I, too, am glad that people are staying faithful through these rough times.
