Abraham Piper has drawn our attention to Christian service again this week! Thanks Abraham!! The first go was bringing attention to Jon Acuff's effort at raising 30k for a school in Vietnam (read more HERE), which was a huge success, praise God!!
Well today, Abraham issued a challenge via his excellent microblog, 22 Words, involving some Salvadoran children in need of sponsorship through Compassion International. Abraham's wife, Molly, is also documenting her time with Compassion in El Salvador as we speak. Compassion's methodology is a holistic approach to the well-being of these children, and I urge you to visit 22 Words, Molly's blog (The Pipers), or Compassion's site (http://www.compassion.com/) for more information on what's being done and how you can help. My family was super excited after reading of the work being done, including the proclamation of the Gospel, in the lives of these children. We're excited to begin correspondence with our sponsor child, who my kids chose :) My 4 year-old has already penned his first letter to his new brother across the globe! Why don't you visit these sites and join Compassion in work that is aimed at both the here-and-now, AND eternal futures of young children.
