"We Got You Covered!"


WE DID IT!

56 children are all sponsored! They all have a family from afar that are writing to them and praying for them! They are ALL connected with a family! Such a great feeling!

Yesterday, I had a sponsor contact me. She had been reading the blog and each time she saw those pictures of kids left that were not sponsored, her heart just broke and she wanted to call and just sponsor them ALL! I know all of the sponsors, and others reading, feel this pull and desire to take them all! I hear it all the time. However, yesterday, she called to take the last 3. Someone was already interested in sponsoring, but hadn't had a chance to come over yet. She sponsored 2 of the last 3! So amazing what God will do with our hearts and then push us to just DO IT!

Then, last night the last child, Abele, was sponsored! What a momentous moment! The best part about it, was it was 2 boys and their siblings! Children themselves wanted to take on this risk, with their work money, their allowance, whatever they can do to be big brothers and sisters to this little boy so far away! It was really touching and I will never forget this entire experience summed up by these kids reaching out beyond their worlds for someone they don't even know. Thank you, Driscolls!
...and thank you everyone! WE DID IT!
