We had a couple of birthday's this month, including my own on March 17th.
Happy 10th Birthday to Kiko Happy 13th Birthday to Mary
Back in December I received 12 correspondent children from the Kenyan 1000. I received my first letters from 5 of those children this month. The letters were from Mohammed, Kiko, Mercy, Ropilen, and Mwende.
I just received today letters from Ida and Blessilela. They both have birthdays in April. This is our first letter from Ida she is a correspondence child I received from the Kenyan 1000. Blessing is our sponsor child. I always love getting her sweet letters. She writes to us often.

Do you sponsor a child with Compassion?
You should seriously consider it. We financially sponsor 1 child
and correspond with 21. Yes we have 21 correspondence kids we write to and love every one of them. They range in age from 3 to 17. It always breaks my heart when I get their history and see a child has only had 3 letters in the past 6 years. I know some sponsors don't have the time to write to their sponsor children, but that I why I love the Compassion Correspondent Program. It is such a blessing to be able to write to all these sweet children. My daughters love helping me write letters to all of our kiddos.

Ropilen is too cute! I loved seeing the photos of your Kenyan kids. That's so exciting that you're finally hearing from them! I always feel that the relationship is more "real" after hearing from the kids for the first time.
ReplyDeleteI feel the same way Hannah. It is awesome getting that first letter from them. My kids so a big YEA! when I check the mail and tell them we have a letter.
ReplyDeleteFirst of all...BLESS YOU for corresponding with 21 kids!!! I am so thankful God connected you to those 21 special kids and I know He will use you to speak love into their lives.
ReplyDeleteThank you for linking up and sharing your Compassion JOYS with us!
Thank you Jill. I feel so blessed to have each one of them to correspond with.
ReplyDeleteI love the correspondence program too. I don't think most realize just how important letters are to these kids! I know I try my best to relay that to people when I am advocating for the kids. We sponsor 4 and I have 14 correspondent kids--so a total of 18 to send letters! I love writing to these kids and hope that God helps me use my words to encourage them.
ReplyDeleteDara, I agree I love encouraging them and love their sweet letters of encouragement as well.
