I've just today had another letter from one of my Compassion lads. His name is Diego and he lives in Bolivia.
I've been able to sponsor three boys with Compassion Australia. Two I sponsor personally: Diego in Bolivia and Maradona in Rwanda. My third child -- Temesgen in Ethiopia -- is sponsored through my ministry organisation.
Diego writes: "I pray for you and your family every night..."
One time I unexpectedly had some money come in and was able to send a "family gift" to my lads -- just a small amount really. I was amazed to receive some photo's from Diego's mission showing how much he and his family had been able to get. There were wardrobes, goats, shoes, clothes and a rough wooden dining table. I had given so little and they had received so much!
It is such a buzz being able to see so much change in one life through my pocket change and a few letters. And my life has been changed so much through the insights of children who give me a view of God I'm so glad I haven't missed out on!
