And they definitely speak with the accent (lol), which I actually kind of enjoy. I love how God is changing so many lives through organizations like Tearfund and Compassion. And that last part really pumps me up!Strategic!...I believe Jesus is strategic as well :) I just ordered a course/resource from Tearfund called Just People…it’s awesome!

They've been around more than 20 years, and have a 4-star rating on charity navigator. It's an indigenous organization, founded and run by Egyptian Christians, which gives them insight and access to some of the most remote and in-need places in Egypt. Sponsorships and personal relationships are at the heart of their work. And yes, I work for them. Lived in Egypt for almost 10 years doing development work at a government level, but jumped ship to the non-profit sector when I found Coptic Orphans to be one of the most, if not the most, effective organizations that has enough scale to be both efficient and effective. www.copticorphans.org For people who have a heart for children in Egypt, another place where Compassion and World Vision aren’t, Coptic Orphans has a comprehensive program for fatherless children.

I often have people asking me about those types of areas. And it is a place to turn when the news pulls my heart that direction. Blessings to you for reaching out beyond the regular child partnership and working with them to reach out further than the regular Compassion sponsorship goes. Oh, this is wonderful to hear!
