If she could, she would..

She has always wanted to go for mission trips. She sees missionaries in remote areas, delivering services and sharing joy,peace and love. She sees the poverty of the needy and the struggle of the helpless. She wants to do the same too. Several times, she made the prayer to God to open ways for her, so that she could be in one of those places. One day a church friend came to her and introduced her to a website. Her heart was immediately touched by the website. She realized there are millions of kids out there at the age of 5, carry heavy water to survive, dig bugs and eat bugs for meals, walk in their bare foot and worn out cloths, live in almost collapse small hut, grow up with a single parent or without parents at all and are seperated from the world. It breaks God's heart. She felt overwhelmed because finally she could do something, she could sponsor a child. It was like her one first step to mission trip! She signed up in the website. All it requires is $40 per month. With $40 per month, the children in poverty stricken country gets enough food, clean water, education, medical care, bible and occasionally, the $40 can be sufficient enough to support the parents and siblings of the child as well. It could make a huge difference in the child's life! All she needs to do is stop spending on lunches in school in cafes and in restaurants, instead pack lunches from home. She buys less shirts and prays constantly for the child. She would love to see the kid finishes high school and have a better life. She would love to see the kid grows up knowing she(the kid) is being loved by her. She would love to see the kid be equipped with Godly characters, be filled with joy and compassion for others. One day, she hopes to visit her sponsored child. It is a very satisfying and meaningful experience for her to be able to release a child from poverty in Jesus's name. Children are created in His image, valued and loved by Him. They belong to His kingdom. "I tell you the truth, whatever you did fo one of the least of these brothers of Mine, you did it for me." Matthew 25:40 If she could, she would do more. How about you? please visit www.compassion.au.com
