Staying Connected

All My (Sponsored) Children, ,

I am always touched when I receive a letter from one of these children. The common thread across all the children’s letters is letting me know how much they love me and thanking me for being their sponsor. They also tell me they are praying for me and my family. I am supporting them through my sponsorship dollars, communications and prayers. They are uplifting me through their communications and prayers. It’s the way we stay connected!

Part of My Family

All My (Sponsored) Children, ,

I sometimes get concerned that by having this website it might appear that I am trying to focus on what I have done by sponsoring these children. This is certainly not my intent; even most of those closest to me do not realize I am a sponsor. Part of the reason I keep it private is because I truly do believe it is wrong to boast about Christian deeds, and I do not want my actions to appear that way. But I do also know it is important to get the word out so that more children can be sponsored. So that is the dilemma I have — being careful about overly sharing or hiding my lamp under a bushel.

There are two reasons I have this site:

  • To encourage others that may be thinking of sponsoring a child to actually do it
  • Because I consider these children to be part of my extended family – the large family I never had

I am so proud to tell the world about these children, not unlike parents who love to share news about their children. Sponsoring these children makes me happy and I want to share my happiness somewhere. In doing that, I hope that others will choose to do the same!
