Isaiah 1:17...learn to do good; seek justice, correct oppression; bring justice to the fatherless, plead the widow's cause.
In July 2012, I made my first trip with the Rwanda Partnership Team. We spent one day with Rev. Gasana at the Shyogwe Parish. He took us to meet the Compassion International Project Staff. As we listened to the Project Director, John Baptiste, the Lord spoke to my heart. I came home, emailed Rev. Gasana for names of children in need of sponsors, wrote Compassion in regard to these children and 7 children's packets were mailed to me. Thanks be to God, each of these children received Sponsors through the generous hearts of people at Apostles. In January as the Rwanda Team was preparing for another trip, the Lord pierced my heart with Isaiah 1:17 and James 1:27. The children in Rwanda have become a priority in my life. One way I can help is partnering with Compassion International as an Advocate for these children. I am deeply grateful and humbled by this opportunity from the Lord.

Compassion
International is a ministry dedicated to releasing children from poverty in
Jesus' name. They do this through
holistic child development; a model that addresses the spiritual, economic,
social and physical needs of children.
Compassion works through the local churches. The Shyogwe Diocese has 2 Compassion
Projects. Sponsoring children with
Compassion International in Rwanda is another avenue of building our partnership
with the Shyogwe Diocese. When you
sponsor a child, you provide the opportunity for a child to hear the gospel and
receive Jesus as their Savior.
After both
services this Sunday, October 20, children packets will be available for
Sponsorship. Please pray about becoming
a Sponsor and offering the love of Jesus to a child in need...a child who will
love you as well! Sponsorship is $38 a
month and a lifetime of love given and received! If you have any questions, you can email
Teresa Kincaid at nanatgk@gmail.com.
