Hi Molly,
I’m a faithful reader of your blog, though I’ve only commented once or twice before. Last night a friend of mine said that he doesn’t sponsor a child because he’s never seen an organization that focuses on teaching children about Jesus, instead of just feeding, clothing, and schooling them. I knew he was mistaken about Compassion, and immediately thought of your posts from your trip. It was helpful to be able to re-read your firsthand report and share it with him. I’m so glad you were able to do this… what a precious, wonderful experience.

Why does anyone deserve to know Jesus? I don’t understand what you mean by this given that you said we don’t have rights to God.

I”m so thankful for this good report!
And praying for those who are still suffering and in danger…

I think I know what you mean about deserving even when we don’t deserve. I’m thinking that if I had a chance to hear the Gospel, then these children should have that chance, as well.

tears are coming to my eyes even as i read your written words-yes, those children deserve to know Jesus-the saving Jesus and the Jesus that is so gracious with us! thanks for keeping us updated! my husband and I just started sponsoring through compassion about a month ago-a little boy from Peru (where my Mom is from!)

Gretchen, the same thing happened to me when I was in college about…er, a long time ago. SInce then the system has been GREATLY improved. The letter you and I got, the lack of information? That doesn’t happen anymore. Sponsors are treated like family because, well, the kids thinks of us that way and we think of them that way too.

So sorry you ad that experience a decade ago. We live and learn, and learn some more.

Thanks for the great question.
