So, one of the things I have decided to do to make life matter is sponsor a child in poverty through Compassion Intl. Compassion is a Non-Profit Organization that works in 26 developing nations to free children from the bondage of poverty. For $38 dollars a month sponsored children receive medical care, healthy meals, educational assistence, vocational training, counseling.. the list goes on. The children enrolled in Compassion are living in slums with no running water, no bathrooms, appropriate clothing, etc. Compassion works to transform children from the inside out through the love of Jesus Christ and His local church. Compassion does not set up offices to compete with local churches they believe in equipping these churches to change lives.   I have recently become a volunteer advocate with this great organization and I can honestly say they work so hard to not only take care of these children so that they can be productive adults living for God, but they work to be good stewards of the money donated to them through sponsorship and more. More than 80 percent of all money received is used for the programs and the rest is either marketing or administrative costs.  They have recently reached a milestone of One Million Sponsored concurrently and Two million in the history of the organization. 
If you are interested in sponsoring click on the link I have provided and check it out. It is MY personal link.

And, if you are interested there is a way to assist new mothers and children under four through their Child Survival Program.  30,000 children under the age of four die…. per DAY of curable and preventable diseases.  That is 9/11 every three hours over and over again, every day, and that’s just children UNDER Four!!!!  For $20 dollars a month you can help support programs that educate pregnant and new mothers and provide medical care and counseling for these children to survive and enroll in the sponsorship program.  There’s so much more info.  Let me know if you want to know more. I would be happy answer your questions in a future blog! 

Have a blessed day!
