A new "Sam" in our world....

I have been reading Pastor Pete's blogging from India....



I have been moved to tears.... but this particular quote KILLED me....

“Sometimes I would like to ask God why He allows poverty, suffering, and injustice when He could do something about it.”

“Well, why don’t you ask Him?”

“Because I’m afraid He would ask me the same question.”


So.... that's when i went here:

sponsor-a-child-india


.....and sponsored a child today!! His name is Samraj --- he is the same age as MY Sam and when I saw his picture I just KNEW God was calling me to help this little guy out!!


Please consider looking at Compassion's site! Maybe you will feel led to sponsor a child as I did!!

  1. That's fantastic Marcia! I joined this thing called mocha club about a year ago: http://mochaclub.org/joinme/sandis

    Basically you "give up", or donate, the cost of 2 mochas to support projects in Africa. I easily spend that on coffee in one or two DAYS! How pathetic.

  2. Good for YOU Sandi! That's a great organization too!! I know that we are all so worried about our economy over here in America, but when we REALLY look at how people live in other countries, it puts things in perspective and we remember how blessed we really are!
