I’m so proud of South Korea! Of course–we know it is all a work that God has done, so our boasting is really only in Him! What an awesome God we have!

I sometimes hear a parent say, “Oh, well, I’m “sponsoring” two children, already,” meaning that they have two children in their family (the number varies, of course). They don’t realize what they could be teaching their own children by including a sponsored child in their family; they don’t realize the blessings that they are missing.

If I sense that the person is open, I will suggest that many parents sponsor children specifically so that their children will learn compassion, how to share, that not all children of the world have all that is available to children here, and so on. But most of the time, those who make that statement to me are not open, so I don’t push it. I’d rather see a child be sponsored by someone who has a real desire to do that; guilt is not an adequate motivation.

“…sponsorship is for anyone that believes in the importance of children…” When thought of like that, how can anyone say no to sponsoring a child? Great post!
