3,159, wow! Just for comparison… I’m wondering, how does that number compare with the number of children who are normally sponsored every month?
Each month is very different but looking at the past few Septembers, it is approx 800 more children than average.

Wow, what a morning!
Thank you all for your support! I have been pinching myself since I read the news! I pray that the Lord gives me the words to share what I experience on the trip!
Your support and encouragement is appreciated! š
I am so excited for all of the children who have been sponsored! I hope that, as Compassion Bloggers, we can spread the word about how important the letters are to the sponsored children!
Congratulations Michelle!!! It is because of her & her blog I discovered the Our Compassion community, sponsored four more children, requested and received a correspondence child, and just became an Advocate! Michelle’s passion and devotion to Compassion International is beautifully contagious!
All the blog postings I read in Sept were amazing. May God bless all who participated and helped kids get sponsored. 3159 kids!!! How awesome is that!
Congratulations Michelle!! I am so happy for you!!

Wow!! I won second place for the story coming from the perspective of a child living in poverty! I hope that during Compassion Bloggers month I was able to lead a few children to loving sponsors. I am so grateful that I now have a $50 gift to give to one of my precious sponsored children! Thank you so very much!
Michelle, I’m rejoicing for you. You really carry the banner for Compassion kids, and I’m so happy that you will get to be on the field, sharing from first hand experience. We will be blessed, and so many kids will be too!
