Marci, you will be a great Advocate and God will use your story and your life to reach many — both children and sponsors! I am thrilled to welcome you to Compassion’s Advocate Network. — Jane

Hi Juli – My Area Coordinator is Debbie Kiehl. While we were in Ghana Jane spoke with me at dinner one evening on becoming an Advocate for Compassion,and I asked her a number of questions. I don’t think that she knows about my decision, so when you speak with her again, please let her know and tell her I said hello, and send God’s Blessings her way.

Here so far apart, our differences unite
Across the sea, our searches
the onward quest to satisfy
Necessity -
so easy for me, a cup of water
- so much to learn, of humility
Veiled, the quality, for us
true value
Out of poverty, our hearts unite

Marci — That’s wonderful news! Is Jane your Area Coordinator? Jane and I met up in Haiti on a Compassion sponsor tour, and have been close friends ever since.

…“We have not stopped praying for you. We have continued to pray and fast every Friday for God to heal you completely.”

I was there on Jane’s home visit here in Ghana. It was one of the highlights of our trip for me, besides meeting my kids. These Compassion Families made a great impression on me, so much so, that I came home and became an Advocate myself. Dick and Jane are one sweet couple.

Your post is a blessing,
Marci

Juli you are absolutely right that I need Georgina and her family as much as she needs me. Her family’s gift of prayer for me is a blessing that I am eternally grateful for. It was probably the most humbling moment I have ever experienced. Thank you for sharing my story on your blog. — Called And Chosen

Zach — I found it unbelievable that a family living in poverty would pray and fast — weekly — for someone here. That really says a lot.

Great post there Juli!

Thanks so much for the encouragement to still pray for Patric, because he is praying for me!
