3 years

We received an updated photo of Mwajuma today.  Mwajuma is the girl from Tanzania that we sponsor through Compassion.  I hadn't realized that it had been 3 whole years that this wonderful girl has been a part of our lives.  3 years ago we received this photo.


A little girl with sagging socks.  And though we've never met in person, we've exchanged letters, photos, and prayers.  We know that our small and meager donation provides her with nutritious meals, education, and the knowledge of God's love for her. 

Today we received this photo.



A beautiful young lady with a bright smile!  We've been blessed by her letters.  I've been humbled to know that this girl from halfway across the world who's life I'm sure is vastly different than mine takes time to pray and intercede to God for us.

I have never once second guessed our decision to sponsor Mwajuma through Compassion.  If you have questions about sponsorship, I would encourage any of you to go to the Compassion website and seriously consider opening your heart to giving to a child in need.  Or send me a message...I'd be happy to tell you about our experience.  As their motto says, it truly is releasing a child from poverty in Jesus' name.
