Waiting for Love

Imagine you are a child for just a moment.

You are impoverished, in need of medicine, schooling and good nutrition.

One day someone offers you a bit of hope.

A church nearby your home announces that they have partnered with Compassion and because of this partnership, if you are registered in the program, you will receive benefits that were never before available to you.
  • educational opportunities
  • health care and health-related instruction
  • nutrition
  • life-skills training
And opportunities to hear about and respond to the gospel.

It's all very exciting so your parents take you and register you at the local church. The church volunteers gather information about you and your family and take your picture. You're officially registered!

You now have all the financial benefits of this program but there's more! You are going to be connected to one sponsor. You just have to wait for someone to sponsor you.

There are people out there who love kids, care for them and want to help.

They want to help you.

This is the ministry of Compassion. They find the children in need and bring them to the attention of potential sponsors around the world. Day in and day out the process works wonders.

Unfortunately, some kids have to wait....and wait.....and wait to find a potential sponsor. Some children have to wait 6 months or more!

That's a long time to wait when every day can mean the difference between life or death. A long time to wait for someone to reach out with the love of God.

The money provided by sponsorship helps....but so do the letters, the prayers. When you connect with a child, lives are changed for all eternity.

Why not stop by Compassion's website today? You'll see pictures of a little boy or girl who have been waiting for a long, long time.

Sponsorship is so easy. You can sponsor a waiting child right now by clicking here!

Still not convinced....I dare you to watch this video:
