Will You Help Us Provide Food & Education for More Than 200 Kids?

Will You Help Us Provide Food & Education for More Than 200 Kids?

Today is the beginning of a dream come true. Leif and I are headed to Nairobi, Kenya, to meet the child we’ve been privileged to sponsor through Compassion International.

Leif and I have both engaged in child sponsorship—programs that ensure that children in majority world countries receive food and education, but this adventure is the answer to prayer and the beginning of what we hope to be a dream come true.

Some time ago, I asked Leif, “If you could do anything—without time and limitations—what would you choose to do?”

As he considered the question, I suspected what his answer might be: travel somewhere unusual on the globe, further his education, take our nieces to Disneyland, or buy a franchise restaurant (he’s mentioned all these in the past).

But his answer shocked me.

“I’d like to sponsor an entire village of children!” he said.

Gulp. I knew we didn’t have the resources to sponsor an entire village, but I began dreaming. Was there a different way, a creative way, to make Leif’s dream come true?

Through a series of that-wasn’t-a-coincidences, we’re teaming up with Compassion International in an effort to get more than 200 kids sponsored over the course of the next year.

And we need your help!

For only $38 a month, a little over a dollar a day, you can make sure that a child enjoys a meal and access to education. For many of these children, it’s the only meal they’ll eat that day. And it makes a huge difference.

One of the many reasons that we adore Compassion International and the work they do is that they partner with the local church. We’re huge believers in local church ministry and the role they play in influencing a society physically and spiritually. We also love their commitment to fiscal responsibility including low overhead and 80% of funds going directly to the meeting the needs of kids.

This week we’re going to meet Nairesiae Lankisa Lemunyu, an 8 year old little girl that we sponsor from Nairobi.

    oh my goodness! I can’t tell you how much this thrills my heart! We love Compassion International and support a sweet girl through them. My husband is going to be in Ecuador this summer with a group of pastors from Leadership Network touring their facilities etc.. I will pray God reveals the WONDER of His love and provision to you and Leif as you embark on this God-sized dream! Praise the Lord for you Margaret!!

    My wife and I are big fans of Compassion – thanks for positing.
    Truth be told though (there are a few really great organizations out there, thankfully).

    We encourage people to just start helping and to build from there – many needs and much work to be done. May we do our part.

    Have a wonderful trip and enjoy time with your sweet sponsored child! Sponsoring with Compassion is one of the things on my to-do list as soon as my job search comes to a successful end!
