Days of Compassion

The Minneapolis based KTIS FM radio station is hosting it's second of two days they are calling "Days of Compassion" where they are partnering with Compassion International to get 1000 children sponsored who are living in extreme poverty around this globe.

Seeing Compassion's work first hand in Ethiopia I cannot express good enough how amazing their work is and how much I wish all of you who are reading this could see the hard work they are doing there.

I have had conversations with friends in the past in which they have stated they really just don't have a heart for the poor of the world, those without the gospel, and basic life sustenance, and they wish they did but they frankly don't!

I would challenge anyone who feels like that to sponsor a child and get involved.

Suddenly you will care, because your money (heart) will be invested in something outside yourself.

As Randy Alcorn states in his book Money, Possessions and Eternity...Your heart follows your money....invest in a Porsche and you will love your Porsche, invest in a hurting child from Sudan, your heart will begin to love him and the people of Sudan.

God seems to work that way with me. I never thought about Ethiopia or Syria or China and Vietnam, and now every day while reading the news if Ethiopia or Syria is mentioned it catches my eye.

So invest in the least of these. They will change you life more probably then you them in the long run.

Dr. Wes Stafford who is the head of Compassion also has a new book out entitled " Too Small to Ignore" that will make you angry, frustrated and hope filled to see the glory of Christ in the least of the world children.

$32 per month to take care of a child (& family).

We spend that of Starbucks overpriced coffee, McDonald's artery clogging burgers and the Cinema time and time over each month.
