Honduras in May!

YEAH! My Compassion trip to Honduras is CONFIRMED!

I will be visiting the two children I sponsor. When deciding whom to sponsor, I choose children from single-parent families (because they will face more challenges than a child raised in a two-parent home). Then, of course, there is usually something that tugs at my heart which makes the final decision so easy. With Kimberly, it was the fact that she is a good student (being a former school teacher—I appreciate that).With little Eskarleth…it was her picture…she just looks so sad.

Of course, I would appreciate your prayers for these two children and for my trip. Further, you can check out Compassion’s website by clicking the button on the right of this page.

Kimberly is 9 and lives with her mother. In her home, Kimberly helps by making beds, running errands, and cleaning. She is in primary school where her performance is above average. Playing house, hide-and-seek and playing group games are her favorite activities.Eskarleth is 3 and lives with her grandmother. She is responsible for helping in the kitchen, running errands, and cleaning. Eskarleth is not attending school because she is too young. Singing, playing with dolls, and running are her favorite activities.

Once our eyes are opened, we cannot pretend we don't know what to do. God, who weighs our hearts and keeps our souls, knows what we know, and He holds us responsible to ACT.
