More Details

I have received a few requests for more details so I thought I'd give more of what I know right now. I have attached a video where Tom Davis of Children's HopeChest explains in detail how sponsoring works and what all is done for the children. In the video, he refers to the church sponsoring children multiple times. I want to give you 2 definitions of church for you to ponder as you listen to this video.

1) a body of Christians worshipping in a particular building or constituting one congregation: She is a member of this church.

2) a collective group of Christians, caring about the poor for the same reason that God cares about the poor.

I believe the church is God's people not just a building we go to worship on Sundays and Wednesdays. So the church can and should care about the poor. WE should care about the poor and needy. We don't have to wait for our local church to start the process before we get involved. We are called to minister, period. Not to wait until the church tells us to minister. I'm not trying to bash the local. My family and I attend a local church that we love being involved with. I just don't believe God said you can't do something if it is not sponsored by your local church. Enough on that. If you want to talk more about that subject, feel free to drop me a note.

I've put a 'Contact Me' button over in the right sidebar if you want to contact me for any reason. If you want to sponsor a child or children, either drop me message from the 'Contact Me' button or post a comment. I will be contacting people over the next few days who have expressed interest in sponsoring already. As I said in the first post, all we need are 20 commitments and we can begin making a difference in the lives of these children.

Please watch the video and pray about what you can do to help.
