Check out this blog!

Compassion International started their own blog and it is excellent! Here is the link http://blog.compassion.com/. Each day an employee or a Compassion advocate writes an entry about some facet of the program. They are all interesting. I particularly enjoy the entries written by Anthony Njoroge, a young man who was a sponsored child in Kenya and is now graduating from Compassion's Leadership Development Program. I love his first-hand perspective on the program.

In yesterday's entry on my blog, I shared how we chose our sponsored child. Here is a similar story from Compassion's blog. I hope they don't mind that I excerpt one of their entries.

"A sponsor attended a Michael W. Smith concert and was looking at the packets on the Compassion display table. God moved on her heart to sponsor a specific child whose packet she felt drawn to, but she hesitated and placed the packet back on the table. Later during the concert, as Compassion was being presented, ushers were passing out packets for people to consider. She decided at that point to raise her hand. She was handed the very same packet she had placed back on the table earlier in the evening."

This story was shared by Brad Barker, the director of Compassion's customer service operation.
For those of you who have never attended a Michael W. Smith concert, they are HUGE. There were probably hundreds of packets passed out that day. To be handed back that very same packet is pretty astounding.

Have a miraculous day everyone!
