compassion
most of you know that we are on the Student Life Tour right now. one of my favorite times during the tour is when we get the chance to speak on behalf of Compassion & all that they are doing for kids in poverty around the world. during this time we come out on stage & aaron talks about our heart for the world & those that are living in poverty. he then explains the video (footage of our trip) they are about to see & the song that we play during the video. after the video is over i get the awesome opportunity to speak to the people in the audience about my personal experience with my sponsored child Isabel. it's a moment that i take very seriously. i have been critiquing my story & presentation over the past 6 weeks because i want it to be the most impactful that it can be. i believe so much in what Compassion does, and i long for everyone in that room to sponsor a child...that i don't want myself or what i have to say be the reason for someone not sponsoring a child.
this moment on this tour has given me a new love & passion for what i do with my music & ministry. it brings joy to my heart to get a text message from Jared (the guy with Student Life that helps run the Compassion Table) saying that there were 80 children saved from poverty this weekend in Memphis. WOW!!! 80 kids sponsored! A huge thank you to all of those that sponsored children this weekend. Jared told me that his grandmother was there during the Compassion moment, and she decided to sponsor two kids! That is the kind of stuff that makes this all worth while.
i close my talk with this.."i'm not asking you to change the entire world on your own. i'm asking you to bring hope to just one child. and with that hope you bring progress. and when there is progress...there is change. the question we have to ask ourselves is this: are you & i willing to make the small sacrifice needed to make a huge & lasting impact in the life of a child? that is the question that we have to ask ourselves."
if you are willing & wanting to make that small sacrifice...click here to sponsor a child. help change the world one child at a time.
