In ONE Day We Made A Difference….

April 8, 2013 by Jennifer

We had 21 days to find a sponsor for a little girl in Africa….but it only took ONE! And in that ONE day we didn’t help just one, we made a difference in the lives of TWO children in Africa. Within a few hours of posting the challenge, I was told the little girl who shares a birthday with Jackson had been sponsored.

I have no idea who sponsored her and it really doesn’t matter. Maybe it was someone who read my blog or saw the post on my Facebook page. Maybe it wasn’t. What matters is her life will be better now! She has someone to advocate for her, someone to help provide her basic needs, and a new friend living across the world who is praying for her.

My friend Shelby had planned to sponsor Efua, but when she noticed she had already been sponsored, she decided to look at the other children who needed sponsors through Compassion International.

What happened next was a total God thing! I was SO blessed and encouraged by her story and I know you will be too. Here’s what she said….

When I saw she was sponsored, I was looking at the other four children it showed below to think about picking one for our family. The first little boy was Prince. I thought how perfect since we serve a king. He is from Ghana which I was thinking of picking a child in Africa since we went there and fell in love with it. Then you won’t believe this. His birthday is the same as Brock’s. I knew that was God’s way of prompting me. He was born 10/11/01 11 years before our 10/11/12 baby. 🙂 I pray many more feel God encouraging them too.
I agree with Shelby….“I pray many more feel God encouraging them too.”
Just because we’ve exceeded the goal of one child sponsorship, doesn’t mean we have to stop there! How many more children can we find sponsors for before April 22nd? Will you help spread the word by sharing the link to this blog and posting this on your Facebook page? Are you supposed to sponsor a child?
