Reading both helped nudge me toward looking into being a sponsor. After reading through Compassion's website and praying about it with my husband, we were delighted to sign on to sponsor a little 7 year old girl in my husband's birth country, the Philippines. I guess I just wanted to say thank you for putting this organization on my horizon and in my heart. :)<br /><br />Beth BasilioAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7297657180254499319.post-83262619946865348502013-05-19T17:11:52.595-04:002013-05-19T17:11:52.595-04:00I love Compassion, too!

LOL Since then, I've been able to tithe more of course, but still kept on sponsoring. I've really enjoyed it a great deal and I agree with everything you said about the organization! I haven't gotten to meet any of my kids yet, but I hope someday to be able to. Thanks for posting about this AWESOME ministry!!<br /><br />MissyMissyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04267667592744200477noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7297657180254499319.post-6635600668029131992013-05-17T09:27:41.200-04:002013-05-17T09:27:41.200-04:00You do not!!

I found a young man who was 12 years old. He had the meanest scowl on his face. He looked like he was ready for a fight! We started sponsoring him and writing to him. The first two pictures really showed no difference, other than he was wearing clean clothes that actually fit him. But then the third picture, his face was relaxed and there was ALMOST a smile. We kept writing and praying. The next time I opened his picture, it took my breath away! This handsome man with a smile as big as Africa was staring back at me. I cried. Each letter has gotten more joyful, each smile bigger, though I don't know how that is possible. He is training to become a tour guide and is very good at it. Oh, the love of Christ, that can transform even the most forgotten! Some day I will meet my "son" in heaven and his smile will match the crystal sea!Psalm127Mommyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12741689565381955655noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7297657180254499319.post-17081150760897210502013-05-17T07:52:32.401-04:002013-05-17T07:52:32.401-04:00My first sponsored child (when I was still single)...My first sponsored child (when I was still single) was from Compassion! For no reason other than opportunity, we now sponsor 4 kiddos from World Vision which also ranks up there with high quality/integrity organizations where the funds go directly to the child! If you haven't read Richard Stearn's new book, "Unfinished", go out and get it--it's as good as his other one "The Hole in our Gospel"!Kristin Fergusonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13420096126951493195noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7297657180254499319.post-56359516545919493672013-05-16T22:34:26.475-04:002013-05-16T22:34:26.475-04:00We have a little compassion girl and I love gettin...We have a little compassion girl and I love getting her letters and hearing how she's doing.

I have sponsored with them since 1999 and I'm fully addicted. They really help children. If you are ever interested, Compassion has a website for sponsors to connect with each other. The address is ourcompassion.org or ourcompassion.com . Either address will get you to the same website. Compassion works and it is a wonderful organization.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03172156705145114297noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7297657180254499319.post-90123815015536128812013-05-16T10:35:55.123-04:002013-05-16T10:35:55.123-04:00We have a little compassion boy, too!
