In life, whether at school, at work, at church or wherever it may be, there always comes a time where you have to stop listening and start doing.
Education, encouragement and exhortation can only take you to the starting line. There is a point at which you have to start putting into practice what you have learned.
This week, I have dedicated my blog to trying to educate you on the need for and benefits of child sponsorship but the time for talking is over. It’s time for action.
It’s over to you now. The ball is in your court – and all of those other metaphors.
What are you going to do? Will you sit idly by in your relative luxury while others starve and die from a lack of basic necessities? Or will you act now before another life is lost needlessly?
I’ve done all of the beseeching I can do. Now it’s decision time.
There are many organizations through which you can sponsor a child. Here are just a few:
- Compassion
- World Vision
- Aunty Katie
- KoKo ( my Uncle’s orphanage)
Over to you.
Thanks Peter for this challenging week of posts. I have a pastor friend in North Dakota who has been working with a missionary/orphanage in Bangladesh who had started a sponsorship program similar to the ones you shared. I had meant to sign up before and forgot, but your posts reminded me to contact him. So thank you…
You're welcome!
…and thank YOU!
This was a great message to get out there, Peter. We already sponsor two kids, but I'm going to write them letters and send some pics… to be more involved! Thank you.
Being more involved is great!
You sponsor two kids?… wow, that's incredible!
I recently sponsored a child through Children International, another great child sponsorship organization. Sponsoring a child is such a rewarding and fulfilling feeling. So far, I have sponsored two but plan on sponsoring more in the near future. Helping children and fighting poverty really helps to improve the future of our world.
