To continue on Tuesday’s track.  I am going to continue to post a child from Compassion who has been waiting for sponsorship for more than six months.

Look at this little girl!  Your 35 dollars a month can be crucial to life, spiritually, mentally and physically.

Name: Cintika Valeri Mamuko
Birthday: October 31, 2000
Age: 7
Gender: Female
Region: Asia
Country: Indonesia
Program: Talentu Student Center

Personal and Family Information:
Cika lives with her father and her mother. At home, duties include making beds. Her father is sometimes employed as a teacher and her mother is sometimes employed. There are 3 children in the family.

As part of Compassion’s ministry, Cika participates in church activities. She is also in primary school where her performance is average. Singing and telling stories are her favorite activities.

Because of your sponsorship, Cika will have new opportunities to learn and grow physically, mentally, and spiritually. Thank you for your concern and prayers.

Cika’s life is waiting on YOU.  Yes. YOU.  To change a Cika’s life, please click here. Cika has been sponsored!  Thank you everyone for making the world a different, better place for this young girl. Don’t just assume someone else will do it.  Because you never no.  If your heart is weighing heavy now, that is God speaking to you.  Only 35 dollars a month.

Maybe you want to stop buying lunch from McDonalds everyday, maybe you want to stop buying that 5 dollar coffee from Starbucks.  That can feed Cika for a month.  That can get Cika an education for a month.  That can give Cika the love she so desperately needs to see.  YOU can give Cika hope!

Please have some Compassion.

I have only been posting on this site for a little while now.  I still have to sit down and think, Why did I start writing here?  What was my objective?  Did I have one? and the answer is simple.

I did start writing here with an objective.  I want to share my life in hopes that somewhere, somehow I can touch the lives of a hurting soul that can relate to me.  I want people who are broken, lost or lonely to find this, and feel some inkling of hope.  I believe that any encounter can be a positive one, and I want others to see that.

I also want to write about the love of Jesus.  The everlasting, unmeasurable love of Jesus, that I have been a living testament to.  I am not always good at putting that into words.  But I believe that for most of us, it is even more difficult to put that into actions.  I hope this site will help me, personally do both.

God has guided me through some tough times.  I have made it, sometimes a little roughed up, sometimes I made it just as I didn’t think I could take another step, but I have made it, and each experience has made me stronger, and I have learned more than I could ever hope to know.

When I look at myself in the mirror, I see stories, I see hope, I see Jesus.  There is no way I could have made it this far without him.  I have stories, CRAZY stories, and I will share them, in hopes of letting people have an encounter that they truly need.

Have you had an encounter that has truly changed your life?  Please share!

Well, here it is.  Crucial Encounter.  What is a crucial encounter?  I believe everyone has one.  Whether you are a christian, muslim, atheist, or what.  It’s an encounter that changes you.  Forever.  I will go further into this later.  Right now, my new wonderful beautiful fiance wants to go get food.   I do too.

Feel free to subscribe and/or share a crucial encounter you had.
