Well, it's that time again...catching up on posts, and trying to get back into the swing of this. It's been a busy year for me. When I became a Compassion advocate, I really didn't have any direction as to how that might look for me personally. At my church, there was already someone who was "the Compassion person", and she only did Compassion Sunday, one day each year. After that, there was no mention of Compassion at all, from anyone, throughout the year. So, I haven't done a lot with my advocacy, but things have changed. The person has moved to another state, which means there is no-one to take over this area. I've felt the Lord calling me to step up to the plate, and so I met with one of the pastors at church who is in charge of missions and mobilization. It was a good meeting, and steps are being taken to bring more awareness for Compassion at our church. It's coming under the umbrella of a brand new orphan ministry, so we'll see what happens!
I'm excited about this opportunity, and I'm looking forward to what the future holds. Now, I need to start making plans to update this blog more often and come up with ways to promote Compassion within our church and community.
In response to the Great Commission, Compassion International exists as an advocate for children to release them from their spiritual, economic, social and physical poverty, and enable them to become responsible and fulfilled Christian adults.
Become a sponsor and change the world for one child!
In His peaceful presence,
