We received a letter and photo from Mwajuma yesterday. Mwajuma is the girl from Tanzania that we sponsor through Compassion. We always enjoy getting her letters and are especially happy when they include a photo. I would assume this is her father in the photo. Mwajuma's birthday is October 1st and we send money for her birthday every year. She thanked us for the gift and told us what she had bought...a new bag for herself; flour and sugar for her family. The photo is Mwajuma and her father holding the purchases. My kids got a lesson on sharing and family. Here is a little girl who bought one practical item for herself and then used the rest for her family.
I have never regretted the decision to partner with Compassion to sponsor a child. To see how God has used our meager gifts to make a difference in her and her family's life has meant the world to me. I would love to meet Mwajuma and her family someday, but that will probably never happen on this earth. I will be content to express our love for her and her family though our letters and trust that God will use the work of Compassion to make a difference in her life. I pray that Mwajuma and her family will know God's love and will put their faith and trust in him. And then one day in heaven we will get to meet.
Perhaps you would like to make a difference in a child's life. At Christmas we were sent information on a little girl in Colombia who is awaiting a sponsor. Her name is Mayerlis Beatriz Arrieta Rubio. She is 6 years old.
It costs $38 a month to sponsor a child; to release them from poverty in Jesus' name. It's a decision that you will never regret. If you would like to sponsor Mayerlis, send me a message. Or go to http://www.compassion.com/. There are hundreds of boys and girls just like Mayerlis and Mwajuma waiting for a loving sponsor.
