			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Our <a title="Posts tagged SpotLINK" href="http://blog.compassion.com/tag/spotlink/">SpotLINK</a> guest contributor today is A. She currently serves as a worship leader and choir director. She blogs at <a title="Wanting to worship God with all that I am" href="http://bethoumyvision.wordpress.com" target="_blank">Be Thou My Vision</a> and co-maintains <a title="womeninworship.wordpress.com" href="http://womeninworship.wordpress.com/" target="_blank">Women in Worship</a>, a site connecting Christian women who are passionate about worshiping and serving God through music and the arts.</p>
<hr />I remember when I first felt God leading me to sponsor a child through Compassion. I was reading <em>Extravagant Worship</em> by worship leader Darlene Zschech and discovered Compassion’s information waiting for me on the book’s final pages.</p>
<p>I began sponsoring a girl in Honduras, wanting to do something to make a difference in her life. How humbling it was when I received a letter she sent after a gift received during the holidays enabled her family to buy items that we often take for granted, such as a pair of shoes and three pairs of socks. This letter brought tears to my eyes and makes me ache to do even more to help those in need!</p>
<p>As a blogger myself, I caught on to what Anne Jackson is doing at Flowerdust.net and have begun <a title="Compassion Friday" href="http://bethoumyvision.wordpress.com/?s=compassion+friday" target="_blank">featuring at least one child on my blog weekly</a>, particularly those who have been waiting to be sponsored for six months or more. It excites me when I find each week&#8217;s featured child has been sponsored!</p>
<p>Compassion also has many wonderful <a title="Free Christian website tools and widgets" href="http://blog.compassion.com/christian-website-tools-and-widgets/">widgets</a> that can help you make a difference by featuring children in need on your Web site, blog and even Facebook. Also, don’t forget to venture to <a title="Partnering with bloggers to release children from poverty in Jesus' name" href="http://www.compassionbloggers.com" target="_blank">Compassionbloggers.com</a> where bloggers share their stories about Compassion and even join in on a trip to visit Compassion and the children whose lives are being changed.</p>
<p>Though it may seem miniscule, bloggers have a great advantage in reaching out just by bringing needy children to the attention of others who God may lead to sponsor them.</p>
<p>What about you? Do you sponsor a child? If you already do, could you help further by blogging about other children in need?</p>
