So, Allison and I are sponsoring our first Compassion child. He’s a little boy from Bolivia. We received his information yesterday in the mail. Compassion International answers all the questions right up front on legitimacy. I would urge you to pray about sponsoring a child for only $38 a month. Check out their website and look at all the children in need of help. $38 is really not a sacrifice for any of us.
I really have felt compelled to sponsor a child for some time now and unfortunately I was afraid of my donation not being used well by the organization of my choice (our church had a small issue with another organization that caused me to worry). But, this year I went to Catalyst and witnessed this below. Jimmy Wambua was sponsored for 19 years by a guy named Mark. Watch the video to witness how much of an impact this had on Jimmy’s life.

I hope my new friend in Bolivia is impacted as much through our obedience to God's leading in our lives as Jimmy was from Mark's obedience to God's leading in his.
