Proof of the Good and Call to Action

Compassion received some very exciting news this week.  An independent researcher studied the effects of child sponsorship through Compassion's program to see whether or not it really works.  The answer was a resounding YES!  You can read the whole article here, but here are some highlights:

Compassion graduates are more likely to:

Get and education

Have a white collar job

Be a leader in their church and community

than kids from their areas who were not registered in the program.

Now, everyone involved with Compassion can see the changes in our own kids.  But for any skeptics out there, there is now quantifiable proof that the work Compassion is doing around the world does make a difference in these kids and their communities.

So now for part 2 of the title.  Every year Compassion chooses one Sunday in the Spring for sponsors to share about the ministry with their church family.  Although I do not think I will be able to share at my church this year, I am going to share with you.  You can read up a little on how I began with Compassion earlier on my blog, The Beginnings.  I hope that those of you who have been reading along with me for the past several months have seen the amazing ways that my life has been changed by this organization, as well as the lives of the sweet kids the Lord has put in my path through Compassion.

Now it's your turn to change a child's story and your own:

This lovely girl, in my heart land, is waiting for a sponsor right now.  Please consider going to my Compassion Sunday page and praying for her.  It is my hope that in the next month I will be able to find a sponsor for beautiful Rosa who will be changed by her like I have been changed by Marlen.
