Ya know what would be awesom-er? If there were a book compiling a whole-bunch of Compassion-child success stories. There must be countless numbers of kids who have gone on to do incredible things as a result of being in Christ Jesus. I for one would love to have access to such a book. Somebody get on that, ok. Awesome.

There was no way that sponsor could have guessed that Israel would one day be a "poster boy" or the fine young man he has become. None of us knows which of our sponsored children will really knock our socks off, but we give them the best chance we can to live out the plan God has for them. What a joy!

This picture and the story should give all of us sponsors an incentive to strive toward encouraging our sponsored children as much as we can. Just to think that without Compassion and especially the Lord, Israel would not be a pastor and probably have to drop out of school to make a living for his family. God certainly works through organizations such as Compassion and in turn through people like Israel! Praise the Lord! I love to see success.

As a child he was beaten and ridiculed on the way to school for being poor. He had so many obstacles in his way and could have just given up. But with God's help he has transformed what could have been a wasted life into one of purpose and service. We are so proud of him. It makes what we do so worthwhile.

That's great news, but we all know that the investment of time and resources into the Compassion kids brings about great things in their lives. What I'm excited about is that these young adults now have opportunities that are limitless. With Israel being a lawyer, how great would it be for him to have influence with the Bolivian government and bring about change on the ground. The LDP is like a snowball that is getting larger and gathering momentum. Wow!
