That's between you and God.

(I hope for the children's sake He says YES!)

Great post. Thanks for the ideas on what I can share with my sponsored child. I never seem to know what to write to him, but a picture post card with the words "I am thinking of you!" seem like it would be a good start.

“One cow provides food. Two cows represent hope.”

I love that statement!

Thanks, Glynn and Peter. Two cows, huh? That's amazing.

It's easy to sit here and say "We can always give more" but there does come a point where financially there just isn't any more to give.

It's funny how it's the people who are the most giving and generous who always feel bad about not being able to give even more!

Hi Russell.

It can be hard to make the sacrifice every month, and often for months on end you see the money going out of your bank account but don't hear from your sponsored child and it seems like the money is not doing anything.

However, that money, small as it is, is changing someone's life!

Thank you for sharing your experience with us, Glynn. It is obvious how you and your family's life has been enriched through sponsorship.

When I was growing up, my family supported several Native Americans, and my husband has sponsored a child in South America.

One cow provides food. Two cows represent hope. With hope, there is possibility of a future.

A great joy builds in the hearts of children who have nothing and, with help, become everything they are meant to be.
