Sponsoring a Child

I think we all 'know' about this one.
But how many of us have acted on it?

The thoughts that rattle around in my heart are:

We hear statistics but they overwhelm or they're too big we can't comprehend them.
We hear the opportunity to travel but that just isn't an option for everyone.
We hear about the number of orphans but we can't or aren't called to adopt.

Sometimes I think the solution is right there, it's simple, it's costs little on every level.
Money, time, talent, emotion.

But in the same way we are overwhelmed with the statistics, we are baffled by the simplicity of the solution.

So, now we're overwhelmed and baffled and still nothing is being done.

It's cliche but I'm gonna say it EACH ONE REACH ONE. (oh yes, I did.)

Sponsor a child, reach out to ONE and little by little those overwhelming numbers being thrown around in the statistics will start to become smaller and smaller.
You won't be overwhelmed or baffled.

There may not be an overnight solution to the masses, but there IS an overnight solution to the ONE.

HOW?
1. Below are two of my favorite links, click on one of them.
2. Pick out your kid, or if you're really short on time, tell them to pick one out for you (yes! they will do that!).
3. Sign up for automatic payment.
4. Write a letter often or every once in a while.
(World Vision even has the option to email your sponsor child.  It will go to a World Vision worker and then that person gets it to your sponsor child)

$40 a month.

I'm not going to belittle you and tell you how 'little' that is when you really concentrate.
But it really is very little....for the majority of us out there, it's littler than little.

But to our little Janeth and her family....who we've sponsored for a while now, I KNOW it is bigger than big.

Here are my two favorite organizations:

World Vision
Compassion International

A neat, quick, article on sponsor kids:

Here is an awesome success story, and I've seen countless numbers of these testimonies....he is not 'unique':



Don't let how easy this is stop you.
Seriously, this is so simple and it's one of my favorite ways to be in the battle for Justice yet.
