16 days and counting...

16 days to go...

16 days before part of our little family isheaded back in the Dominican Republic. 20 days from now, we'll be at a beach, by a pool, or taking our dear boys, Jeffry, and Julio, to a baseball game. 21 days until my little Leah and Andrea will be celebrating their birthdays together.

While we are there, we are hoping to spread the blessing of sponsorship. I'm not really talking about the blessing that sponsorship is to the child you choose to take in as a part of your family...the child you choose to clothe, feed, and deliver the gospel to in Jesus' name. I'm talking about the way that your life will blessed through sponsorship...how God will use the little children to make your heart be more like His heart.

Our family will be visiting DR302 in the city of San Pedro de Macoris. In this Compassion partner church, over 100 children are waiting for sponsors. Here are a few of them. We would like to share with these children in person the good news that they have sponsors! If you choose to sponsor, we will make time to visit your child at his or her home and provide you with photos of their home and at the center. We will also take them a small gift and take a video thank-you from your child.

The cost of sponsorship is $38 per month. What a great gift for a child or family on Christmas morning, to be able to begin a relationship with a child like this!
