Sponsor a
needy child today!

Recently, my wife Marci and I journeyed to Ecuador to meet the child we sponsor, Jean-Carlos Toala Macias. He was brought to Quito to meet us at the Compassion headquarters there, and as soon as he spotted us, he ran to us and gave us big hugs. We played games and had a chance to enjoy this bright, handsome little boy who was getting a good education, good nutrition and good healthcare thanks to Compassion and the $32 a month that we contribute to sponsor him.

We visited several Compassion projects while we were in Ecuador and we were so impressed with what this wonderful organization is doing for the children of the world. We spoke with many children and their families, and they, like Jean Carlos, knew their sponsors and treasured the letters and pictures they received from their extended families across the sea. They are so amazed and so grateful that people who have never met them care enough to give so that their children can have hope.

Won't you join us in sponsoring one of these dear children? You may not be able to visit your child like we did, but there's a very good chance you'll get to meet your child in heaven. These children not only learn how to read and write, but they learn all about Jesus. That's what makes Compassion's programs so very special.

Get more information at Compassion's child sponsorship page where you can choose a child to sponsor today. Each child gets just one sponsor, and there's a child right now waiting to be chosen by you

Remember, do this as a family and you'll inspire your own kids to be less selfish, more generous and more grateful. Thanks for whatever you can do.
