bless you, Heidi for posting this. I love Compassion. And, for those concerned about their money, Compassion has been given the #1 rating by the top charitible auditing/rating organization for the last 8 years. It is the only sponsoring organization(it is really a holistic child devlopment organization) that brings children out of abject poverty through Jesus spirtually, emotionally, financially, socially, and physically. I sponsor 4 children and THEY have blessed us richly. I love too their pictures they send and their letters of love, hope, encouragement. These kids didn't know how to hope nor what dreams are, but, now, through Compassion, our personal relationship with lettersand sponsorship, and Jesus they do. We were priveleged to have a Kenyan who was sponsored by a teenager through Compassion 20 yrs ago. Jimmy now is no longer in spiritual poverty nor any other kind of poverty. He is working on his Master degree in theology at Moody Bible Institue and came to visit us last weekend. What an absolute blessing to this community is was. He is going back to his homeland when he finished at Moody and spread the Gospel by building up a program for youth.
wow I didn't realize all that .. thanks for sharing!! I can't believe he came to visit you .. I want to see picture how GREAT is that! if anyone emails me about compassion I will let you know :) love you
