Compassion International sponsor children being taught how to play the guitar.
All this week I’ve been showing the work of Compassion International to a group of artists and music industry people. It’s been another amazing trip to the Dominican Republic. Today we leave to come home but with encouraging hope for the future of the kids we played with and got to know.
The one thing I keep seeing over and over again is the youthful look in the eyes of kids that says… I want to be some one. I want to make my world a better place. I want to be used to bring hope, opportunity and good health to those around me.
These kids are dreamers and they dream big. The great part is they are always given the tools, knowledge, and resources to realize those dreams. Always.
So as you read this and as you follow me around the globe… think about what it is to give a child the opportunity of build a dream and create culture. It’s such a powerful gift to give. It can literally change the world.
Next Friday, April 24, I’m off to lead a trip to India to take a small band of eager bloggers headed up by Shaun Groves. You can find the list of bloggers at CompassionBloggers.com.
Please follow along, Please sponsor a child and please keep us in your prayers. I have a feeling this trip will be more life changing for those of us on the trip than those we are going to meet. Funny how it happens that way.
