I’ve been a Compassion sponsor for 3+ years, but I never knew about the family gift amount. We recently got letters from the men who pastor the Compassion projects in India where we sponsor 2 kids. In one of the areas, 95% of men suffer from addiction. What are the chances that our boy is NOT touched by that? I stood in my kitchen, holding this piece of paper and thought, I’m not doing enough. We’re not doing enough.

Thank you for sharing about your day with your Hannah. Safe travels home.

I love your wife. Thank you for sharing her this week. It has truly been a blessing to room with her and get to know her.

My father has a farm full of cows. I wish I could load a few up on a plane and make a special delivery. I love your heart! I love that I see Christ in you the hope of Glory! I see him in you and all of the amazing bloggers and children on this trip.

Thank you for experiencing this with my Kristen

What a precious reunion. Hannah seems wonderful.
My sponsored child in Kenya had written about the drought but I had no idea it had such devestating effects. I will be sending a family gift soon.

Love hearing about this trip and seeing it through y’all’s eyes!!! We just love Compassion and what they do b/c it is REAL. It is life changing, for everyone involved, sponsors and children and families. and it WORKS. And I hear ya on the blubbering thing-and I can never manage to do it in a cute way either! Always need to throw some sort of snort in there or have make up running in my eyes or something equally attractive, haha! Praying for all of you on your trip that God would move so many mountains!!! And you are SO BRAVE to ride that ferris wheel-ack! so scary!! I just LOVE Africa!!!

Found you on Compassion’s site. Am thrilled to know that you and a group from Compassion are in Kenya where our sponsored child lives! If you should be in her village by “Godincidence”, PLEASE give her a huge loving hug for us. She’s Catherine Sakwa, who turns 16 in May. I don’ t know how you’re connecting with children of Compassion. It’s amazing you found your own dear child there! Catherine is precious to us, of course, and I’d love to have her know that and hear it from another loving mom from the USA! I had just written her a letter online at Compassion’s site when I found the traveling group blog you are a part of. Blessings to you as you journey on!
