Although I trusted, and trust, Compassion International, it is reassuring that you are there to fill us in on what they are doing. I have sponosored a child for years and just kind of hoped that what C-I said they were doing was actually happening.

And David, how about challenging "God's Politics" readers to sponsor a child through Compassion International?

Can we count the one I sponsored yesterday? It wasn't Valentine's Day, but I don't celebrate Valentine's Day and I sponsored immediately after reading your previous post about Susan. Franco from Tanzania.

Now that I think about it, it was February 14 in Uganda and Tanzania when I sponsored Franco. forty-nine to go.

David, it is wonderful to hear first hand how this program helps. I just started sponsoring a child a couple of months ago through another program, which I hope is equally effective. His name is Xhuljan and he lives in Albania. He has such beautiful intense eyes. I look forward to getting to know him. I wish I could take on another child, but I will definitely forward this and link to it. Happy Valentine's day to you all and blessings!

I marvel at God's awesome way of engaging people in HIS work here on earth ! Such a blessing how all of you are vividly portraying in words how your lives will forever be changed with what you are seeing/experiencing as it has already changed mine. I sponsored Brian today(Uganda)and will passionately promote to others.
I could hardly wait to read new entries each day from all the J - bloggers . . .
YOU ARE ALL AN ENCOURAGEMENT AND A BLESSING ! THANK YOU SO MUCH.

Just wanted to let you know I just signed up to sponsor a child in Rwanda. I had thought about doing this in the past, but just was never thinking about it at the right time. Your blog was what it took. Thank you. IT'S A GIRL!
