Inspiring Letters

What is it like writing to an LDP student and receiving their letters?  I’ll tell you — it’s delightful!

They are already such strong leaders in their communities; they’ve proven their academic excellence and spiritual depth.  Receiving letters from students like this enriches my life.  But I’ll let some of the excerpts from letters speak for themselves:

Prayers

I greet you in the name of our Heavenly Father and Lord Jesus Christ.  I pray that the blessing and grace of God will be with you today and every day.  Please, give my love to your family.  I pray that God will bless them and pour out rich blessings on them.  My family says hello!  They pray many blessings for you and your family.   — Luis, Columbia

May God bless you and your family to be healthy.  May God give you strength on the serving work.  I will always pray for you.  – Siriporn, Thailand

Before I head myself to college, I read The Bible and I pray.  I thank God for life and His love for me.  I also thank Him for being faithful to me.  I pray that I do well in all that I do and I remember that everything works well for those who love God.  – Luis, Columbia

I pray that God continues to bless you through His word.  I want to know that I love you so much.  I pray every day that our Heavenly Father will bless you and your family and keep you all safe.  Even though I haven’t met you, this is the beginning of a strong and beautiful friendship.  I thank God for bringing you into my life.  – “A happy young man,” Luis, Columbia

May God open the heaven’s gate and pour out the blessings upon you and your family!  – Mary Jane, Philippines

Praise and Thanksgiving

Every day in our life is a blessing from above.  We should praise God because He is an awesome God.  In my devotionals I learned that each problem we face and any circumstance, is an opportunity to learn something new and an opportunity to get closer to God.  Praise God!  We should learn from our problems and mistakes.  – Luis, Columbia

Thank God for always blessing me.  Because of God, I can have a chance to know about His love through your kind supporting.  I am proud and I am very glad to have a chance to know you.  All Compassion children always feel glad to receive and read the letters from their sponsors. Let me send the thankfulness from all children that you write them letters.  I believe that they are very glad like me when they read your letters.  Let me send my thankfulness to the Compassion staffs to give us the chance to read your letters too.  – Siriporn, Thailand

Thank you very much for being my Correspondent.  I am so grateful for this blessing.  I will do my best in my studies and in my ministries and I will assure you that you will be updated about the developments in my life.  – Mary Jane, Philippines

Inspiration

A lot of stressful school work and it seems that time is running so fast but I don’t try to do it all my own way because I let God do it His own way and I know He will change things in my favor.  I know that everything God allows to come our way is with a purpose and all we have to do is to hold on to God and have faith.  – Mary Jane, Philippines

I am glad to be in the Leadership Development Program LDP.  We have learned good things.  Recently I learned that I should value my family.  I am developing my God-given talents.  I am learning how to be a good leader and a good servant of God.  I got a nice book from the project… This book is a great blessing to us.  We also got a beautiful Bible.  This Bible has attachments that help us understand better the word of God.  I love my new Bible.  This has been one of the best gifts I’ve ever had.  In the LDP I will become a better leader.  – Luis, Columbia

One thing I have learned from God is how to get along happily whether I have much or little.  I know how to live on almost nothing or with everything.  I have learned the secret of contentment in every situation because God is enough to cover everything.  – Mary Jane, Philippines

God is always loving and good.  I’m so thankful for his grace and kindness to lead you as my sponsor.  It means a lot to my life.  I’m very proud of you that you are so generous to help the other children in the project as well.  Those children are very poor and needy.  The LDP leader training program taught me and showed me how these children are living.  I was trained to be their representative.  It’s the work of God to find sponsors for these children.  – Siriporn, Thailand

Isn’t that encouraging?  I tell you, it’s a blessing to correspond with these outstanding young men and women of God!  If you would like to sponsor an LDP student, please click here. There are many awaiting a sponsor right now!
