On a Mission

Today was Compassion Sunday at Hope Community.  My friend Aubree and I had the priviledge of sharing with our congregation about sponsoring children through Compassion International.  What a joy to tell our story and see families selecting children to begin sponsoring.  Thank you to Hope Community for helping to "Change the Story" for these children all around the world.  Of the 25 packets that Compassion sent to us I only have 10 left. 

I will have all of the packets available at our church on Wednesday and Sunday, but I'm taking it upon myself to find a sponsor for this little one.

It must have been that cute little 3 year old smile, but this sweet little girl grabbed my attention from the start.  This is Milagros Juarez Diaz from Peru.  Her birthday is June 11, 2008.  In her home, Milagros helps by running errands.  She lives with her mother.   Her mother is sometimes employed.  Milagros is not presently attending school.  Playing house and playing with dolls are her favorite activities.  She also attends church activities regularly.  If you choose to sponsor Milagros, she will have new opportunities to learn and grow physically, mentally, and spiritually.

Perhaps you are like Dusty and I were 4 years ago.  We had said for years that sponsoring a child was something that we thought was a good idea and we would like to do that someday.  Someday turned into weeks, months and then years.  Four years ago we quit waiting and God brought Mwajuma into our lives.  Earlier this year we were blessed to begin sponsoring Wannaporn as well.  If sponsoring a child has been on your heart and mind, I would love to talk to you about Compassion.  Perhaps you are the person to help change the story for Milagros.
