Many of you remember my a.maz.ing journey to my sweet Isaac in Uganda through Compassion. I got a magazine newsletter and saw this in the middle...asking people to please sponsor the older children who are easily overlooked. I can't even IMAGINE not getting to journey the road to sponsoring Isaac and the awesome faith building blessing that was to me and my family. He and Esceza's photos are throughout our home...they are our God kiddos.
I want to write out what this article says...it will break and touch your heart:
"Younger children are often sponsored right away. But, what about the older ones? Many feel neglected. Overlooked. Forgotten. They are at a vulnerable age and need someone to believe in them. Please sponsor and older child! You will be so blessed (OH YEAH!!) as you mentor your child and build a strong relationship together.
Right now, 900 children age 10 and older are waiting for sponsors. Which child will find hope through your love and guidance? Sponsor TODAY at compassion.com/olderchild or call (800) 336 7676."
Y'all. It costs about $35 a month to sponsor a child through Compassion. That is less than $10 per week to house, feed, educate, give medical care, and the love and knowledge of Jesus Christ. Won't you PRAY and look deeply into the eyes of an older child and sponsor them?
Perhaps, like us, you are not able to add to your family through adoption (at this time!). Perhaps you can not travel to another country to serve. You CAN make a difference in the lives of children all over this world by sponsoring them...one. at. a. time.
Let's look deeply into the eyes of these children...then look honestly into our budgets. Can't we find $10 extra dollars a week? We love our two biological kiddos...and our two God kiddos in Uganda...I can't wait to see how God will expand our family again.
