224 Lives Changed Forever!

I was so excited to get an e-mail from the event coordinator for Compassion at Kingdom Bound. I was even more excited to see this:
Your involvement made an impact on 95 US & 17 CDN children!

112 children's lives are being changed by having a new sponsor
112 sponsor's lives are being changed by having a new sponsor child

I rejoice! How awesome :) How awesome is our God.
And I am thrilled cause I know that at least two people sponsored older teens. We searched the whole table for the oldest child -February 14, 199# (can't remember the exact year) Born on Valentine's - the holiday celebrating love. Now on a 5th of August, a new holiday for them, celebrating love - the love of a sponsor.
And a girl too was sponsored - my age (15) from India. A sponsor who choose an older child to because he said he was old, who choose an Indian girl cause he wants her to be safe and protected. The love of a sponsor.
I am sure you remember when you started sponsoring, how you fell in love with the child. Hoping that these new sponsors never stop loving and writing their new child!
Say a prayer for all the new sponsors and sponsored children!

  1. Yay! I remember the second I laid eyes on my first sponsored child, Lorkens. He stole my heart (and has since changed my life) :)

    1. It is always fun to think back to that "moment" when you first laid eyes on your child and see how God orchestrated it all!

    1. Sure :) I am especially thrilled because last year was less than half that. I hope this means Compassion will be at KB again in 2014!
