But, this child is a little different. We've always had nine months to prepare for a new baby. This time we only have a few weeks.
Isn't he fantastic? Look at his beautiful face. This momma is so proud!!!
We decided to sponsor him through Compassion International. It was our Christmas present to each other. The opportunity to literally change a child's life forever, and therefore impact all of those around him as well... priceless! Who could think of a better gift? Not me!
Compassion International has been helping children for over 50 years. To date they have helped more than 1 million children in 26 countries. They don't just give a hand out, they save lives and provide opportunities to children who otherwise would have no future. Children and families are not just fed, they are educated- blessed with skills that help them to earn a living wage and support their families. Therefore offering the invaluable gift of dignity, respect, and hope. Doesn't every human deserve at least that?
We are so blessed and excited to be apart of Mohammad's life. He lives in a country that is around 86% Muslim. (You know our heart to see the truth fully revealed to Muslims.) So, we are already praying for Mohammad. We pray that he comes to know the Lord as his personal Savior and that his heart is full of love not just for the Lord but for his fellow country-men. We pray that he will be bold in sharing his faith and sharing the stories of Jesus to all of those around him.
The Lord gives both death and life;
he brings some down to the grave but raises others up.
The Lord makes some poor and others rich;
he brings some down and lifts others up.He lifts the poor from the dust
and the needy from the garbage dump.
He sets them among princes,
placing them in seats of honor.
For all the earth is the Lord’s,
and he has set the world in order.
2 Samuel 2:6-8
