Officially an Advocate!

Hey guys, sorry it's been a while since I posted.  School has been crazy these last few weeks and will continue to be hectic through exams next week.  I just wanted to share with you a new step in my journey with Compassion.

I recently went through the process to become a Compassion Advocate, which basically legitimizes the things I have already been doing to try to raise awareness for this organization and find sponsors for more kids.  They sent me a package in the mail with a t-shirt and name tag among other things, which makes me feel very official!  Also in the package was a sponsorship packet for a child who is waiting for a sponsor right now.

Sweet little Ezechiel is 3 years old and was born on December 16.  He lives in Burkina Faso with his parents and 1 sibling.  His parents are sometimes employed (likely as seasonal laborers).  He helps out at home by running errands.  Ezechiel is too young to attend school but he likes to play group games and go to church activities at his Compassion project.  

Because Compassion only prints one copy of each child's information (so that they are not accidentally sponsored by two people) I am responsible for trying to find a sponsor for this cutie.  He will be with me until Friday, May 3 when he will move on to someone else.  Please pray for him to find a wonderful sponsor.  And, if you or someone you know might be interested in sponsoring Ezechiel, please let me know and I will help set that up.
