April 22nd, which is a week from this Sunday is Compassion Sunday. You may be asking "What is Compassion Sunday?" It is for the organization Compassion International which is an organization that helps feed, cloth, educate and give health care to children in less fortunate countries. Tammy and I have sponsored a child now for around 2 years and its pretty cool. To know that we have a hand in impacting a childs life halfway around the world is mind blowing. Our child Teshale is from Ethiopia and will be 10 years old next month. We get a letter from him every couple of months and see how much he is progressing in school and in church. Who knows how many peoples lives in his village he will be able to touch with the message of Jesus Christ that he is hearing from Compassion.
Compassion Sunday is the day where they encourage churches across the country to get involved. We have some brochures on the information table at church so be sure and pick one up and check it out. For $32 a month he gets health care, food, education and most importantly sound biblical teaching. If you have any questions look Tammy or I up some Sunday and we'll try and help all we can. You can help impact not only the live of a child but a whole community as well. If you want more info look them up on the web at www.compassion.com.
