@Dwight –

Dwight,

We visited a Foursquare project in Manila and it may very well have been her project it was PH-238. I should have simply asked but I was not thinking about it at the time…I easily could have dropped off a gift!!!!!!!

@Dwight – Dwight we could visit and drop some things off at the country office or even request to visit her project and enjoy her class and give the gifts then. However it might be a few months or even years until I can visit again But who knows!!!!!!!

Whenever we publish a post about a child, we always let the sponsor know about the story and share any extra photos we may have.

@Dwight – Dwight, if Patricia says anything in her letters to her sponsor, and/or if her sponsor reads this blog, her sponsor could send some things to her. That would probably increase the bonding between them, too.

Another gift idea her sponsor could consider is sending her a small gift with a suggestion that she use it to buy an illustrated Bible for herself, so she doesn’t have to borrow her friend’s.

@Dwight – I didn’t mean to communicate that you can’t help her, but I definitely understand how that came across, because my answer was about “policies.”

I encourage you to consider a $25 center gift that you recommend be used to help her ministry. The church partner cannot arbitrarily dismiss a recommendation. The gift will be used according to your wishes unless they deem it to be in clear conflict with the center’s best interests.

I am sorry that compassion will not let us help this child…but I understand all organizations have procedures. But we can still pray for her ministry.
