Compassion for Children of God

Christmas is coming.. or more precisely, Jesus is coming. What's one of the best ways to show Jesus' love to the world?

Deuteronomy 15:7: If there is a poor man among you, one of your brothers, in any of the towns of the land which the LORD your God is giving you, you shall not harden your heart, nor close your hand to your poor brother; but you shall freely open your hand to him, and generously lend him sufficient for his need in whatever he lacks.

God may call His people anytime, anywhere.. I was called two years ago, and I walk with Him ever since. I now sponsor a 4-year-old girl in Indonesia :). We have written letters to each other several times now.
If you feel like God is talking to you about this, then this one might be for you :).

Interested in sponsoring a child?
About Iris Daniela Arboleda Meneses:
Iris was born on December 26, 1996. She now lives in Colombia with her father and her mother. She is responsible for running errands and cleaning. Her father is employed and her mother maintains the home. There are 6 children in the family. Art, playing with dolls and playing ball games are Iris' favorite activities. In primary school her performance is average and she also regularly attends church activities.

About Compassion International:
It is a Christian organization that connects willing sponsors and needy children from around the world. When someone sponsors a child, he/she will be the only one sponsoring and probably also regularly praying for the child. The sponsor and the child also write letters to one another throughout the years. (These letters are written in the native language, then translated to English). On the other side, through the sponsorship, the child can get the opportunities to learn about Jesus, receive an education and health needs, develop confidence and skills, and grow to be a mature man/woman of God.
This relationship does not end there, the sponsor will also be invited for arranged visits to the child.

If you are interested in learning more about Iris, sponsoring her, or simply about Compassion International, please let me know! I have all the booklet and application form, and I'll be more than happy to share it with you :)
