Compassion...up close and personal!

It's been such a joy to develop a friendship with the boy that our family sponsors through Compassion International. I've had the opportunity to visit him on several occasions and each time, I see how Compassion International really changes lives. If you don't sponsor a child...don't wait any longer. Do it! I'm serious...like, right now. Go for it. www.compassion.org
One of our high school students, Pete was able to visit the child that his brother sponsors in Burkina. Matt (Pete's brother) went to Burkina Faso in 2008 and he came back to the States and started sponsoring a child. Pete went recently and was able to actually meet this child. How cool is that?
I can't think of a ministry that does a better job at lifting children and families out of poverty than Compassion International. On our trip to Burkina Faso, those students who sponsor children with Compassion International were able to personally visit their sponsored child. It was a life-changing experience. To the left is Karissa with the sponsored boy that our high school youth group sponsors.
