Have a little Compassion…

Posted October 18, 2008 By Andrea and has 1 comment.

Here is Jhonatan. As soon as I saw him he stuck out because I had a student named Jhonatan from Peru as well, and he was the kind of student who was an inspiration. He was one of my students who came to this country legally, and he worked hard to maintain a job (UPS everyday after school) as well as maintain a legal status by paying for trips home to keep paperwork in order and check on his family. So I imagine this Jhonatan the same way. He is in a family of six, living in poor conditions, and his father is only sometimes employed. He is only a child of five with his entire life in front of him.

Name: Jhonatan Leonardo Salinas Quispe (PE5020105)
Birthday: October 3, 2003    Age: 5
Gender: Male
Region: South America
Country: Peru
Program: Rayitos de Luz Student Center

Take a little time to think and pray about making Jhonatan a part of your life today. His favorite things to do are art, playing group games, and playing with cars. Sometimes he also has to run errands for his family. He attends pre-school as well as participates in church activities. This is an immense opportunity to make a personal difference in someone’s life.

Because of your sponsorship, Jhonatan will have new opportunities to learn and grow physically, mentally, and spiritually. Thank you for your concern and prayers. To sponsor Jhonatan, please click HERE. To sponsor another Compassion child, please click here.

You had a little Compassion… Silehadin is sponsored!

Posted October 10, 2008 By Andrea and has no comments yet.

HEY! It’s the end of the week, which means Compassion Friday. :) Today check out Silehadin. He is a seven year old from Ethiopia. But he’s not your typical 7 year old. Silehadin’s mother is sometimes a seller in the market, and his chores include buying or selling there as well. He also runs errands. This child is also living in an AIDS infected area. As a seven year old, he is in kindergarten and doing well. He loves to play soccer and run (sounds like an athlete in training!). Make Silehadin a part of your family today through your sponsorship, care, and support.

Name: Silehadin Bamlaku Shumet (ET1470171)
Birthday: October 30, 2000    Age: 7
Gender: Male
Region: Africa
Country: Ethiopia
Program: Dessie Kale Hiwot Church Student Center

Click HERE to sponsor Silehadin. To sponsor another Compassion child, please click here.

Please remember Silehadin in your prayers. Your love and support will help him to receive the assistance he needs to grow and develop.

Remember, this child lives in an AIDS affected area. In Africa, the disease has impacted the entire continent, creating a generation of orphans and vulnerable children. God can use you to help ease the pain of a child in desperate need.

You had a little Compassion… Binoy was sponsored!

Posted October 3, 2008 By Andrea and has no comments yet.

I have noticed something since I first began perusing Compassion every week. There are more hearts. Hearts indicate that the child has been waiting longer than six months. The group that I work with features these children who have been waiting the longest. But it’s getting harder to choose! So thank you, thank you for supporting this blog, but thank you even more for supporting Compassion. So, here today is Binoy!

You had a little Compassion… Rose is sponsored!! Thank YOU!!

Posted September 26, 2008 By Andrea and has no comments yet.

Here is little Rose. Again, I am choosing to feature a child from Haiti. They are still suffering effects from the hurricane and I think a little bright spot in one girls life could be knowing she is sponsored, cared about from a far away place. Both of her parents work at a church, but employment in Haiti often means wages that cannot cover the cost of living for a family. Rose’s jobs are gathering firewood, carrying water, and washing clothes.

Rose loves to sing, jump rope, and does very well in school. Rose will have an even greater opportunity to grow because of your sponsorship. Please pray and consider about this awesome opportunity.

Name: Rose Berangere Alexis (HA3539706)
Birthday: September 24, 2003    Age: 5
Gender: Female
Region:  Central America and Caribbean
Country:  Haiti
Program:  Combattant Child Development Center

Because of your sponsorship, Rose will have new opportunities to learn and grow physically, mentally, and spiritually. Thank you for your concern and prayers. To sponsor Rose please click HERE. To view other children who have been waiting over six months like Rose click here.

You had a little Compassion… Love is sponsored!

Posted September 19, 2008 By Andrea and has no comments yet.

Here she is! Little Love. As you can see, Love is from Haiti, if you know anything about Haiti you know it has a turbulent and undeserved history, as well as a recent devastation with the hurricanes. The small island (shared with the Dominican) country has been flooded and suffered the loss of over 500 people. They need hope, and support. Sponsoring Love today is one such way to do this.

Name: Love-ginoue Hyacinthe (HA7550294)
Birthday: August 22, 2004    Age: 4
Gender: Female
Region:  Central America and Caribbean
Country:  Haiti
Program:  Mare Rouge Child Development Center

Personal and Family Information:
Love-ginoue lives with her mother. At home, duties include carrying water. Her mother is sometimes employed as a farmer.

She loves to play with dolls and to play group games. Sounds like little girls everywhere! In pre-school her performance is above average and she also regularly attends church activities.

Your love and support will help Love-ginoue to receive the assistance she needs to develop her potential. Please pray for her.

So, this has just been so awesome. You guys are such a blessing. I love having Compassion Fridays to feature a child who has been waiting longer than 6 months from a sponsor from Compassion International. It’s a cool concept and even more an awesome way to spread God’s love. The other bloggers contributing to it are even cooler than me. For a reminder check out the list here.

You had a little compassion… Gerry is sponsored!

Posted September 11, 2008 By Andrea and has no comments yet.

    Name: Gerry Abao (PH6420076)  
Birthday: April 8, 2004    Age: 4
Gender: Male
Region:  Asia
Country:  Philippines
Program:  Child Integrated Development Center

Woo hoo!! It is Friday again. This is quickly becoming one of my favorite days on here. Today’s featured child is 4 year old Gerry. Gerry lives with his mother and father and is responsible for cleaning, errands, and taking care of the animals. His father is sometimes employed as a laborer and his mother stays at home. Gerry is not in school right now but he loves to sing, play with marbles, and swim. He attends Bible classes and church activities reguarly. Please pray for Gerry and think about making a difference in his life. For just a small amount per month (about a buck a day) he could know someone cares about him. We all take care of each other.

“Whatever you do to the least of these you do to me.”  -Jesus 

Pray about it, pray for Gerry, and think about the HUGE impact you could make. Gerry has been waiting longer than 6 months for a sponsor. It is so cool to have a relationship with a relationship through letters and pictures, even if it’s from afar. You can let him know that not only do you care, but Jesus cares too. That is all at once giving investment, encouragement, and love. Wow. It’s so cool to think about.

If you would like to sponsor Gerry click here. Or, to sponsor another child who has been waiting for six months, click here.

You had a little Compassion… Refuka is sponsored!!

Posted September 5, 2008 By Andrea and has 3 comments.

It is that time again. Every week I and several others feature a child to be sponsored from Compassion International. What is a little different about these featured children, though, is that they have been waiting for sponsors for longer than six months. Friday is my personal day. So, please think and pray about sponsoring Refuka today. She is from Ethiopa, and lives in an area greatly affected by AIDS. It will make such a huge difference in her life, not just the money but to know someone cares about her, despite what might be going on in her personal life. One of the biggest benefits of Compassion is being able to write letters and communicate with your child. You can share your life with Refuka, and she can share hers. You can pray for her, and even send her an extra gift or card on birthdays and holidays. It IS a special bond, please find out!
Name: Refuka Mudser (ET5380179)
Birthday: October 20, 1997    Age: 10
Gender: Female
Region:  Africa
Country:  Ethiopia
Program:  Wachemo Mekane Yesus Student Center

Personal and Family Information:
Refuka lives with her father and her mother. At home, duties include carrying water, helping in the kitchen and cleaning. Her father is sometimes employed as a seller in the market and her mother is sometimes employed. There are 3 children in the family.

Playing group games is Refuka’s favorite activity. In primary school her performance is average and she also regularly attends church activities.

Because of your sponsorship, Refuka will have new opportunities to learn and grow physically, mentally, and spiritually. Thank you for your concern and prayers.

To sponsor this girl, please click here or click the image above!

Just think about it, how much does it cost to eat at a fast food restaurant a few times? For a new skirt? Buying 3 movie tickets? Having cable in your home? These things cost about the same as what it would cost to physically and spiritually support a child each month. Nsabyemahoro lives in an area that has been torn by civil war, still suffering with many of its people living as refugees or squatters 14 years after this war. It has also been greatly effected by the AIDs epidemic sweeping Africa. People ARE starving. Please think about giving this child a greater chance. A chance to have clean water and food each day, and even more than that- a chance to experience and learn about the love of Jesus. So please sponsor today, you are needed and you can make a difference.

Show compassion through Compassion

Posted August 19, 2008 By Andrea and has 4 comments.

Many of you may already know about Compassion International, the organization providing care and opportunities to children in 24 countries around the world. What you may not know is that right now there are over 143 orphans living in this world. For some astounding stats see here.

The mission of Compassion Int’l is:

Releasing children from poverty in Jesus’ name

In response to the Great Commission, Compassion International exists as an advocate for children, to release them from their spiritual, economic, social and physical poverty and enable them to become responsible and fulfilled Christian adults.

Beginning today Andy and I have joined others to commit to featuring one child a week on our blogs. We have further committed to choosing children who have been waiting for sponsorship the longest. Please pray and think about a commitment to one of these children.

The weekly schedule:

This is a big deal! Children are starving. It is only a small amount out of your paycheck each month to make such a huge difference!!!! So, think about it, pray about it, and think about what BIG things God is doing through organizations like this with a little help from you and me.
