A Milestone is Reached - Many More to Go

So we are well on our way with our challenge and I have some very important news to announce - I am working with Compassion International to identify a country and a region where we can sponsor all our children from. Why is this big news? Well, if we sponsor a number of children from one region then we could potentially plan and take a trip to help serve these children in a real practical way.

Now that would be awesome!!

Can you imagine the joy that we could bring to just one child by sponsoring them? Now let's magnify that to sponsoring that one child, and their best friend who lives next door? Now add the little girl they play with who lives down the street. Pretty quickly as a group, we could sponsor a lot of children from the same village or town, or even region.  Now, keep that imagination going and come with me on a mission trip in a summer or two when we go to that region to visit our sponsored children and build them a new church or well, or whatever they need. Now that is a vision I can give towards.

So, I want everyone who reads this to seriously consider sponsoring a child, but dont do anything about it yet. I am working to set up a Compassion International Sunday event in April and by that stage we will have a region identified, a group of children in need of sponsorship and we can collectively take the plunge to serve and reach out to those who need our help.

O yeah, I almost forgot. The milestone reached today was I now weigh 299lbs - I am under 300 and steaming ahead.

My desire is to inspire.
