Compassion International

We just sponsored our second child through Compassion International.

I received the Introduction packet today. Our new child is from Ethiopia and he is 6 years old. He is an area that has been devastated by HIV/AIDS, and part of our support will go to help fight the AIDS epidemic. As I was reading the literature, my heart just went out to this people who have so little to fight poverty and disease. Our support also helps feed and educate this boy and his family. I hope that education will help to stabilize this area of the world although a large part of the poverty is due to years of draught. It is a hard part of the world to be born in. Thank you Jesus that you can overcome even this.
