As a child, living in Uganda, Alex was sponsored by someone living in Arizona through Compassion International. He excelled in school and got into university and Compassion's Leadership Development Program. Now he, his wife and beautiful daughter are living here, studying at a local Bible college.
It is amazing to meet someone who has gone through Compassion's programs - to see and hear the proof of how sponsorship changes lives and offers hope. After dinner, dessert and much conversation, Alex prayed for us. It reminded me of the many, many times my sponsored children tell me they are praying for me. What a blessing it is to be part of Compassion's big, big family.
They brought one of their friends with them....Kayleigh enjoyed having some stories read to her!
In my 16 years of involvement with Compassion, tonight stands out. Meeting a formerly sponsored child is definitely a highlight.
All I can say is awesome and PRAISE THE LORD!!!!!!!
