Sponsored children listen attentively to Bible lessons
Here are some notes received this week from some of our sponsored children who live at a large garbage dump in the Philippines. Being sponsored is giving them opportunities beyond their dreams. Perhaps more important is that they know someone cares and knows they are worth an investment. We hope the notes below bless you as they have us.
John Lawrence - Hi Ate Kathy and Sponsor, How are you. About me I am okay after I have cough, many got sick in our school because the climate is very hot then suddenly it rains. I am healed now. Thank you so much for your prayers, for I am learning many things in school now. I love to play but I don't neglect my studies.
Hazel Mae - Dear Ate Kathy and my Sponsor, Greetings from Garbage Dump Site!!! Just want to tell you that I thank the Lord for I am healed now after a one week of getting sick. My mother bought medicine for me. Even if I was absent in school my teacher still admire me because I can still catch up with the lessons. I know you are praying for me, so do continue pray for my parents too that they will have good health.
Jhoneill - Dear Sponsor and Ate Kathy, Good Morning to you! I am very happy that I can now buy regularly my needs in school unlike before, I always afraid to go to class because our teacher will ask me why I can't buy my requirements, but now that you sponsor me, the staff in our church will immediately buy my requests. Thank You Lord for my loving sponsor. Amen.
Aracely - Dear Sponsor and Ate Kathy, My mother is really happy that I was favored to be sponsored. She is always regular in Group Savings with other parents in Garbage Dump Site that our pastor is teaching too while we have our feeding every Saturday separately. Sometimes they have problems of debts because if mother has little income from the garbage, she could not pay the rice we credit from the store. Please pray that they can have more income.
Princess Camille - Dear Sponsor and Ate Kathy, I am very happy that my mother is now healed, thank you for your prayers. We are starting to save money now in our Kids Group Savings and I am the treasurer. Please pray for my studies, especially Math. Thank you and love you too.
