Compassion and Idol


I am a big American Idol fan. Last night on the show, they talked about their Idol Gives Back Campaign, where they raise money for the poor in Africa. Did you know that over 3,000 children a day die of malaria?? A DAY! That is only from malaria. How many more from poor drinking water, malnutrition and other disease.

I am a Compassion International sponsor. I have been for 17 years. Right now, we have two children we sponsor in Central America, Kevin and Elsy. They live in two separate countries, but their lives are similar. The $32.00 a month we send provides them food, clothing, an education, health care and a Christian environment to grow and be nurtured in. Not bad for the amount I spend on coffee every month.

Please consider being a Compassion sponsor. Follow the link at the bottom of this page to start your journey of changing the world one child at a time.

God bless you for your sponsorship and for encouragement! May many read your words and be inspired to sponsor a child of their own.
