Sunday, April 21, is Compassion Sunday 2013. I don't have the opportunity to have a Compassion Sunday in my home church, but I can do it here--for more than one day.
I have previously told the story of how I became a Compassion sponsor. Since sponsoring my first child, I have learned a lot about Compassion's integrity. I am impressed with Compassion's holistic approach to child sponsorship, especially after visiting Peru.
What I saw in Peru were many, many happy, laughing, smiling, excited children at the Compassion centers. The children I sponsor tell me they love going to their Compassion center, and I was able to see why in person.
Besides the young children, I saw teenagers who were taught skills that they can use to sustain themselves, given leadership roles, and encouraged to believe in their worth as children of the King of Kings.
I can't even express in words how impressed I am with what I saw.

I know that my sponsorship helps the children and their families, but it also helps me. One day a few months after I begin sponsoring, I was almost hit by another car (not a surprise), and I thought, "Don't hit me. My children need me!" Wow. What cool feeling! I had never been able to see that before. Now I know I need to be at my best at all times for my children.
When I visited Jack in Peru, one of the best things he said to me was, "Thank you for changing my life."
Wow!
Don't miss the chance to change the story for one child. I offer you Diego, a five-year-old in Peru. (How can you resist that sweet smile?) You can learn more about Diego on My Compassion Sunday page.
Watch this video, read my Compassion Sunday page, and then--as Ginsely says--"just do it." Sponsor Diego. He needs you to change his life.
