Many of you know that we are passionately involved with Compassion International. Compassion is an fabulous organization that helps needy children in third world countries. For over 10 years now we have challenged people to get involved with Compassion and sponsor a child in need.
This Sunday Compassion is hosting a benefit concert at Ryman Auditorium in Nashville that will be shown live on the internet. See the details HERE
Compassion has been on the ground in Haiti since the devastating earth quake and is even now working to help with food water and other supplies. Here's a brief rundown:
We have approximately 15,000 sponsored children in the affected earthquake area. Accounting for each one in detail, individually, has been on ongoing task of our staff (who are also continuing to provide service to the 45,000+ children outside of the earthquake area)
• Haiti staff have filled out at least 10,040 “census” forms in effort to account for program beneficiaries
• So far, Haiti staff have distributed food kits directly to more than 30,000 people (Compassion sponsored children and their family members, as well as pastors and staff people at the churches we partner with) Each kit is intended for several people.
• 25% of food kits provided to church partners are available for distribution to community members who are in need of food but are not Compassion beneficiaries
So remember this Sunday Compassion is hosting a benefit concert at Ryman Auditorium in Nashville that will be shown live on the internet. See the details HERE
We want to encourage you to watch the concert, give generously and tell others about this wonderful opportunity to HELP!
Blessings~
Jay and Laura
