"And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me"
Matthew 25:40
I would like to introduce to you my Compassion International kiddos. They are so special to me and have been such a blessing in my life for the short time I have been their sponsor. God challenged me to pour out my love and resources for someone in very real need about 4 or 5 months ago; trusting Him to provide the monetary resources necessary to support a Compassion kiddo. About two months ago, He challenged me to step it up to not only one kiddo, but two. Learning to trust Him is a life long lesson as He leads us to deeper and deeper surrender of every aspect of our lives to Him. He came for the broken and needy of this world, and He makes strong His saints so He can pour them out for the weak in this earth. These lost, broken ones are His special people, and serving them is a practical way to serve Jesus Himself. So, trust Him. He is so worthy, and He is well able to fulfill that which He promises.
Elvis Armando Ramirez Barrera is nine years old and lives in El Salvador, Central America. I became his sponsor on April 15th, 2012.
Silvia Oranga is fifteen years old and lives in Kenya, Africa. I became her sponsor on June 25th, 2012; her birthday!
Picture Update for Elvis! I just got this new photo in the mail yesterday. Thought you might like to see a new photo of little Elvis. :)
I would greatly appreciate if you would pray for these two precious kiddos. Prayer is the most powerful weapon a Christian can wield and the greatest gift they can give. So let's shower these kiddos with prayer; prayer that God's plan for them would be realized and His glory seen in and through their lives. Thank you! (comment on this post to let me know if you would like updates on what to pray for.)
Compassion International is a wonderful organization that pairs kids in poverty situations with sponsors from the U.S. The sponsorship money goes towards several life changing things, such as: nutritious snacks and meals, educational opportunities, health and hygiene training, medical checkups, the caring embrace of a local church, and the message of God's love through Jesus Christ. For more information you can visit their website at www.compassion.com. Set a child free from poverty, in Jesus name.
Sweet Blessings in our Jesus Christ,
Victoria Eira
