What a special Christmas present I received last week. This picture of this cute girl being baptized. What is the significance? It is Maria!!! We sponsor Maria through a “Compassion International” type program in Ecuador. Talking about a thrill —- The tears of joy started welling up in my eyes when I downloaded this pic. To see our little girl making her profession of faith in Jesus Christ was awesome.
Over the last few years THE highlight for me has been seeing Maria and the other children that we sponsor when we lead a team to Ecuador during the summer. Let me encourage you to consider sponsorship if you do not already do it. It is a way to correspond with a child from another culture and really make a lasting impact. If you are able to go and visit your child, all the better, but even if you cannot do that, you can be involved in touching a young life with compassion and Christ. Our sponsorship is through Amor y Esperanza Foundatio in Ecuador. Hope also recommends Compassion International.
Oh, and to make it even richer, the next picture I downloaded was this one — Maria and her Mom. God also worked in the heart of Maria’s Mom so that she also professed her faith in Christ.
