There are two ways you can give a thoughtful, meaningful present this year:
- Instead of buying something that needs to be dusted and will eventually end up at the local Good Will Store, how about buying a mosquito net, a chicken, a goat, water filters, farm equipment, soccer balls for the kids, clean water projects and much more? Compassion International has a new “gift” catalog where a plethora of gifts can be purchased for communities who really need them. And of course, you know since it’s Compassion Int’l, you can trust that the money is spent on that which you request. It’s part of that integrity thing they value so much. Here’s the link to the Gift Catalog.
- You can also sponsor a child – one who desperately needs you – one that can be a part of your very own family. So many to choose from: Start Here. Or look to your right. See that child on the banner? He (she) is waiting right now. Or you can choose by country (27 of them), by age, by gender, handicapped, orphan…….where is your heart? Where is your passion? Is it so hard to choose to love a little child with our excess?
“See that you do not despise one of these little ones. For I tell you that in heaven their angels always see the face of my Father who is in heaven.
Matthew 18:10
