Just got an update from Scott Todd who is leading the Compassion medical relief in Haiti. This is a wake up call to the church and to us all. As Scott says… “(we, or the church) would not be trapped and anesthetized any longer by our culture of… call it what you will… lusts and self-satisfaction”.

The video is the one that was shown in church last Sunday. Now you may be wondering what this has to do with Malaria Intervention (did you notice the Compassion sponsored child had a mosquito net?). And why are we pushing Compassion so much? Well, Compassion is first a child sponsorship organization. They have “been there and done that” for over 50 years. They are already in 26 countries around the world, and have done an amazing job. We have seen what they do in person, and believe in the organization so much that we volunteer on a regular basis. One of the things that Compassion is doing in addition to child sponsorship is Malaria Intervention. They are very good at everything they do. Your hard earned donation will be wisely used. And, by the way, consider sponsoring a child while pledging for Malaria Intervention…the life you change may be your own!
Connie gave a presentation at church last Sunday. In addition to this video, she spoke about Compassion. The folks at Calvary Worship Center have sponsored hundreds of kids in the past, and she praised everyone for their response to this need. She explained Compassion principles of the 4C’s. Christ centered, Child focused, Church based and Committed to financial integrity. She held up a Starbucks cup and explained..”for the cost of 2 of these a week, you can change the world for a child living in poverty”. The question left is, will you?

BTW… 44 kids were sponsored! And there is still one left for you!
