not to us

Love does. 

Love is not passive.  Love is not an accident.  Love is something we choose to do, choose to feel.

Many children in Kenya are desperate for love.  In a life of severe poverty, love can become overshadowed.  Compassion International has answered the challenge to let love shine in the face of poverty.  Each day, Compassion partners with local churches in Kenya to protect young children from starvation and the adverse effects of poverty.  Each day Compassion instills trust in these young souls, promising to be there for the long haul.  (They've already been an active part of the community for thirty years.)  Compassion brings the hope of Jesus into these kids' lives.  And Compassion?  Never stops.  They are dedicated to these children and their families.  They are committed to releasing children from poverty in the name of Jesus Christ.

Compassion International relies on individual sponsors supporting children in the program.  A single contribution of $38.00 will sustain a child for one month, providing adequate nutrition, education, and life skill training.  (One of the great facts about Compassion International is that over 80% of your contribution goes directly to your child.  8% goes to administrative costs and 8% goes to fundraising.)

Compassion is sending a team of bloggers to Kenya this week to document Compassion's work in the country.  You can follow them at http://www.compassionbloggers.com/kenya or you can simply click the button on the sidebar.  If this is something that connects with you, please keep the Compassion bloggers in  your prayers this week and consider joining with Compassion International to make a dent in world hunger.

Thank you!  :)
