Let Me Introduce You...

Let me introduce you to my kids. I have two beautiful children that I have the privilege to sponsor. It's such and honour to be a part of their lives. I just LOVE them.

Matthew 18:2"And He called a little child to Himself and put him in the midst of them,And said, Truly I say to you, unless you repent (change, turn about) and become like little children [trusting, lowly, loving, forgiving], you can never enter the kingdom of heaven [at all].Whoever will humble himself therefore and become like this little child [trusting, lowly, loving, forgiving] is greatest in the kingdom of heaven.And whoever receives and accepts and welcomes one little child like this for My sake and in My name receives and accepts and welcomes Me.But whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in and acknowledge and cleave to Me to stumble and sin [that is, who entices him or hinders him in right conduct or thought], it would be better (more expedient and profitable or advantageous) for him to have a great millstone fastened around his neck and to be sunk in the depth of the sea."

It's so lovely that you can make such a difference from, quite literally, the other side of the world. A small sacrifice for me that brings life to someone else, what a joy! I'm in awe of a GREAT God who orchestrates things, moves hearts, hands and changes lives. I have the privilege of observing from a far, their very special journeys, growing into the Man and Woman of God that they are called to be.

Jenny is pretty special. I sponsored Jenny when she was 3 and I was just 17. It was at Planet Shakers and after watching an incredibly moving video on child sponsorship I was like... RIGHT! That's it! I am changing the world. Let's start with a little girl from the Philippines!
