Day 6 Another incredible CSP day!

"Children are a gift from the Lord; they are a reward from him"- Psalms 127:3 NLV



When you sponsor a child through Compassion, our "mothering/nurturing hearts" grow larger. It's a gift to partner with another mother across the nations and make a difference.  Their lives are changed, but so are ours. How can it not? We are blessed to be a blessing, and in reaching out- we experience unexpected blessing from above once again. God is the giver of good and perfect gifts... Lisa, Maureen and myself had another heart enlarging day visiting another Child Development Project in a remote village in the jungles of El Salvador.
                                                                                         "Playing games with the kids, joining them in singing, seeing them at work on their computers, sewing machines or in the hairdressing shop; it was absolutely amazing!  The skills that they were learning there and the joy on their faces  was fascinating to see! My heart just wouldn't stop feeling like it would burst!" -Lisa  
 This particular project was very special. They hadn't had Compassion visitors for many years and it was such an honour to spend time with them.

 Surrounded by joyful children, we were convinced that Compassion is the forerunner in Child Sponsorship who understand the holistic needs of the Child, including Christ Jesus' admonition to His disciples as found in Luke 18:16-17:

     













     “Let the children come to me. Don’t stop them! For the Kingdom of God belongs to those who are like these children. I tell you the truth, anyone who doesn’t receive the Kingdom of God like a child will never enter it.” 
We have much to learn from the many precious children just ready to be sponsored by people like you and me:) Childlike faith, so pure, so innocent... there is nothing quite like it!
