It was just about a year ago that my family started to sponsor children through the ministry of Compassion International. Over the course of this year we’ve received several letters. Every time we get one it is a huge deal. The kids get around our island, Molly or I read the letter, we take a look at the picture they’ve drawn, and we talk about how much they’ve grown or changed. It’s so cool. I hope if you are sponsoring a child you are taking advantage of the blessing and really pouring into that life that’s seemingly half a world away. When I get a letter here are a couple of things I find myself praying:
1. Let this child continue to grow up to know you, love you, and serve you.
2. Protect them from the harms that could scar their soul.
3. Provide enough food, enough shelter, and enough education that they never go to bed in need.
4. Lead those who are pouring into them with a heart of compassion, mercy, grace, and love.
5. Release your Kingdom to move through Ecuador with the power and strength that comes only through you.
