Sponsoring a child


A couple weeks ago we went on the Christian Children's Fund website and sponsored a little girl named Lebasite Abby. She is 4 years old and lives in Ethiopia!

Today we got her picture and information booklet in the mail!! She is so beautiful! It feels so good to be able to help her and do this in Jesus' name! We can help a child go to school, get health care, clean water, food etc. Learning about where she lives really makes me think about the amount of food we waste a day. Or the amount of money we waste on too many toys at Christmas. We are truly blessed to live in Canada.

It really moves me that Brooke and Hannah are so compassionate about her. They immediately wanted to draw her pictures and make letters. Hannah said that they would make her feel better. We are going to send her a pretty sundress with our letters.

I ask that everyone please pray for Lebasite Abby and her family as well as her community! Maybe this is something you would like to do. It is a great feeling knowing we are helping a child :)
