This week, I want us all to meet Benny.  We all know the drill.  Benny was born into some….. not so great circumstances.  His dad works when he can, and his mom maintains the home.

Because of compassion, Benny does participate in church activities but, would love to have a sponsor!  A sponsor is someone who can write letters, tell him Merry Christmas, and he can form a relationship with.

For less than your cell phone bill, you can change Benny’s life today.  I believe with 100% of my heart that you can do it.  Take that step.  Click the picture to the left, or click here.  Comment here when you do, so we can all thank you.

Personal and Family Information:
In his home, Benny helps by running errands. He lives with his father and his mother. His father is employed as a laborer and his mother maintains the home.

As part of Compassion’s ministry, Benny participates in church activities. He is also in kindergarten where his performance is average. Swimming, hide-and-seek and running are his favorite activities.

Your love and support will help Benny to receive the assistance he needs to develop his potential. Please pray for him.

Ok. It’s that time again.  I admit I was absent last week because I was on a honeymoon, in a remote location with no electricity or internet.  (Ok, that’s a tiny lie.  I was in Orlando, but I did not blog at all, I hope I can be forgiven.)

So.. here’s the scoop.  Every week, me and a group of bloggers each take one day to choose a child who has been waiting at Compassion for longer than six months, and put that child up on our site.  The schedule is as follows:

• Toby Keathley – Monday
• ME!!– Tuesday
• caffeinatedfaith – Wednesday
• shawnw.org – Thursday
• Andrea | Shalom  Existence – Friday

This week I chose Gladis. If you’re feeling a void, or even feeling like God is calling you to do this.  Take a second to pray about it, and see if this is the direction God is moving you.  If it is.  Click here or the picture below. Together we can make a difference.  Is it in you?

It’s Tuesday again.  Which is exciting to me.  If this is your first time here, let me give you the rundown.  On each day of the week Monday – Friday, me, and a group of bloggers take a day to feature a child who has been waiting six months or longer for sponsorship.  These are the bloggers:

• Toby Keathley – Monday
• ME!!– Tuesday
• caffeinatedfaith – Wednesday
• shawnw.org – Thursday
• Andrea | Shalom  Existence – Friday

If you’re curious or have any more questions head over to the compassion part on my blog, and see what this blog has done.

Today, I chose Trisia. Her full name is Trisia Pretty Dameria Boru Purba.  That’s a sassy name.  Try to say it out loud.  Now you know why I chose her.  Her picture is filled with just as much sas, and it is cute. Let’s get down to it.

I won’t go into the whole “guilt” thing.  But I will say.  Pray about it.  Has God been calling you for some time now?  Do you feel like something needs to be done, or like you need to do something?  Maybe this is it.  Say a prayer, and let God guide you.
