Could You Be the One? - Updated


I worked the Compassion table at the Willow Creek Global Leadership Summit in my area on Friday and none of the kids on my table were sponsored, which meant I came home with six packets due to expire next week on Aug 16.  I don't want to sit by and no nothing with the packets before they expire so I thought I'd post them here.  Please look over them and pray that the kids will be sponsored soon.

Up first is sweet Hanny from Honduras.  Hanny will be 6 on August 30 and has been waiting 9 months for a sponsor.  She lives with her parents who work as laborers.  She likes to play house, play with dolls, and make art. 

Up next is lovely Rismati from East India.  She just turned 6 on June 15 and has been waiting 8 months for a sponsor.  Rismati lives with her parents and 2 siblings.  Her parents work as farmers.  Rismati is currently in pre-school and likes dolls, bicycling, and hide-and-seek.

Third on the list is miss Estefania from Colombia.  Estefania is 7 and her birthday is April 1.  She lives with her parents and 1 sibling.  Her father is sometimes employed and her mother stays home.  Her school performance is average and she likes dolls, jumping rope, and playing group games.  

The first boy of the group, this is Dushimana from Rwanda.  He is 6 and his birthday is December 1.  Dushimana lives with his grandmother and 1 other child (he is not listed as an orphan).  His grandmother works as a farmer.  Dushimana is doing average in school and likes soccer, marbles, and running.  

The other boy is handsome Iranzi, also from Rwanda.  Iranzi is 8 and his birthday is January 1.  He lives with his father and 4 siblings.  His father works as a farmer.  Iranzi's school performance is average and he likes soccer, running, and group games.  His area is listed as needing evangelism.

Rounding out the group is beautiful Daniela from Colombia.  She is 13 and her birthday is November 9.  Daniela lives with her parents, who are both employed, and a sibling.  She is doing very well in middle school and likes swimming, art, and listening to music.  


All of these kids are touching me for different reasons, especially Daniela.  Please pray for them to find loving sponsors and let me know if you or someone you know might be interested in sponsoring one of them.

If you would like more information about one of the kids listed here, please reply here and I will let you know anything I have on them. 

As you know, sponsoring has been one of the best decisions of my life and has changed me in ways I could never have imagined.  If you feel drawn to one of the kids listed here please prayerfully consider whether God is offering you a chance to change your life by changing the life of a child in need.  Could you be the one that child has been waiting for?

Just to update you guys, these packets are now out of my hands.  However, dear little Hanny is currently on the website looking for a sponsor.  If you think you could be the one for her please click here.  If you still feel called towards any of the other children listed here, please let me know and I would gladly call Compassion to see if they are still available.
