This is a blog to feature some of the many children who are waiting for sponsors through Compassion International. My family sponsors 3 children through their ministry, and we have enjoyed it very much. If you have any questions about Compassion feel free to ask me, or visit Compassion's web site at www.compassion.com. If you are a sponsor already or if you decide to sponsor a child, please leave me a comment and let me know! http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/Compassion/ en-us Homeschool Blogger Tue, 11 Sep 2007

for what He is doing through Compassion International!  When I first started this blog, I planned on updating twice a month with a new featured child.  But I haven't had to wait that long on any single child before that child was sponsored!  I had no idea that so many people are sponsoring children through Compassion.  Each child that is featured on here has been in my prayers, not only that they would find a sponsor but that they would find Jesus Christ as their Savior.  Well, the prayers for sponsors have all been answered, and I continue to pray for their salvation.  I know sponsors can be a great help in this area, also.  <br>     Our new featured child is Dilip, a 15-year-old boy from India.  Actually, Dilip will be turning 16 tomorrow!  He lives with his father, mother, and 1 sibling, and he helps out by gathering firewood, gardening, and washing clothes.  His father is sometimes employed as a farmer and his mother maintains the home.     Dilip is participating in church activities, Bible class, and camp through Compassion's ministry.  He is attending highschool where his performance is above average.  He enjoys swimming, singing, and telling stories.      Please CLICK HERE to see Dilip's picture and more information.  Ask God if maybe you are the one He is calling to sponsor this teen! http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/Compassion/323173/ Thu, 3 May 2007
