Photo of the Day
Mark is 11 years old, in 5th grade and is one of our sponsored children in the Philippines. The past year has been especially hard for his family. They lost their home and everything they owned in the earthquake last year. Life was already hard for them and this made it much harder. His father is a construction worker but often cannot find work. His father also helps with evangelism outreach in their community. When we visited them earlier this year, his father was rebuilding their house high up the mountain. Mark tries hard and desires to be an honor student. He does well in school. Having a sponsor is a big help to him and he is very thankful because he could not go to school without that help.
God can use you to make a life changing difference for a young person like Mark. Go to Sponsor a Child.
Christmas for Kids
Thank you to those who have sent donations to provide Christmas for the sponsored children and their siblings. The little boy in this photo was so happy to receive the first gift he ever received for Christmas, birthday or anything. He would not turn loose of that package for anything. It was all his.
Charity (see below) has two little sisters, ages 4 and 2. None of the family will have a gift for Christmas unless someone helps. It is our desire to provide gifts for all sponsored children and their siblings plus some extra food for the family.
Can you imagine what it takes to provide Christmas gifts and food for so many? Impossible for most of us, but if we all chip in a little, we can bless many. You can help make that possible. Go to Christmas for Children.
