Today, Becky and I sponsored our first child from Compassion International. Her name is Sandra. We were able to see the compassion project she attends. It is ran by a local assembly of God church. We spent time with her, visited her home, and met her family. Now we want to introduce you to her as well.
The video below is in Spanish. She tells us that her name is Sandra, she thanks us for being her God parents, and she asks for God to continue to bless. (think of this as the message remix translation haha).
Tonight, we had dinner with children who are in the Leadership Development Program for Compassion International projects in Honduras. We met two students who have grown up in the projects, live by the gospel, and have now finished shool and began University.
Today was quite a day! We got to see the work of Compassion and a local church. We visited homes for local hondurans living in a flood zone near a local river. We got to meet our child we are sponsoring. We saw children beginning the compassion projects, and we saw children who are now grown up and becoming successful because of it!
Tomorrow - the Global Leadership Summit in San Pedro Sula.
God bless,
Ben
