In December my fiance’ and I went to Andrew Peterson’s, Behold the Lamb of God show. While there Bebo Norman gave a presentation on Compassion International and Kimb and I felt called to sponsor a child and through this sponsorship, offer them hope, life, and Jesus.
Yesterday in the mail I received a letter from Compassion and in this letter was a letter from our boy Clement. I promptly opened it and read with great eagerness. It was so exciting to read and through this letter sense his excitement that a couple in the United States would choose him. So last night when I saw Kimb, she and I quickly wrote back to him. So here in a few days we will find a picture of us to send with our letter and in a few weeks Clement will see what we look like. Kimb and I are so excited to be able to impact Clements life. We pray that through our monthly sponsorship Clement will come to know Jesus and that if we can never go to Burkina Faso to see him, to know that we will see him one day dancing in heaven.
The joy that this brings to Kimb and I is amazing, but the joy that it brings Clement…
…I cannot imagine.
Would you pray about sponsoring a child through compassion?
peace be with you,

I know you just wrote Clement a letter, and that you plan to hand write another one soon so you can include a photo, but if you write a letter to Clement via Compassion’s website and you do it before January 31, you may earn his family $150. It’s all in this post.

Bebo came to our church in October and talked about the same thing. It was the first I had heard of Compassion International. First off, Bebo was rad. He was there with Shane and Shane who were okay guys, but again…Bebo was rad.
I’m glad to hear that your sponsorship is off to a great start, my wife and I are thinking of doing the same.
Thanks for stopping by the blog. I see that you linked me…so I’ll link you back. Look forward to getting to “read” you a little more.
Peace
