My Sponsor Child

Monday, June 6th, 2011

This last I was following the Compassion Blogging Though the Philippines.  It made me want to sponsor another child.  I really wish I could help them all.   But I cant, and we are already sponsoring children though Gospel For Asia’s Bride of Hope.  I got a letter from one of them today,   Sabdhan is 13.  He lives in India, and enjoys playing cricket and drawing.  He was 6 when tsunami of 2004 hit.  He was lucky, no one in his immediate family died.

Sabdhan wrote me extensively about how happy he was.  His family had been so blessed by BOH’s generosity.  They had given him a towel.  He went on to expound how useful it was.

As I read, I tried to imagine being that happy over a towel.   Off the top of my head, I have probably close to 2.5 dozen bath and hand towels.  Not to mention a drawer stuffed full of dish towels.  And I never once thought of them as a blessing.

I am so glad that I have been able to make a difference in his life.  And that through Bridge of Hope, he gets to hear the gospel.

Go into All the World

Wednesday, June 9th, 2010

And He said to them, “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature.” Mark 16:15

I was thinking about this verse as I hung laundry. It’s a command. But if I am staying home, how do I go? But really, when do we not go? I still have to go shopping. I still see the homeless people on street corner asking for handouts. Everytime I go out, I am being a witness for Christ. When I take my daughter to the park, I can tell the other moms there about Jesus and that He forgives sins. I can buy food for the homeless, and if I have a chance, talk to them as well. I can pass out gospel tracts when I am out and about. So, really, I have already gone into the world. I just have to be intentional about the second half of the command, preach the gospel.
