education

Did you send anyone off to school this morning?

There are mothers and fathers around the world who wish that their sons & daughters could receive an education. It seems poignant on a day like today to remember those children who are impacted by extreme poverty; children who will never receive an education.

Won't you please consider sponsoring a child. Child sponsorship provides more than an education, it can help lift a family out of their extreme poverty, it provides for health care, clean water, improved agricultural methods.

When I talk about child sponsorship people may say they sponsor a child. Why not sponsor 2, 3 or even more children. Proverbs 22:9 A generous man will himself be blessed, for he shares his food with the poor. If God says this in the bible, and the bible is the truth, do you not believe God will bless you for sharing your food with the poor. Stretch your faith and trust God - He will bless your generosity.

I have child sponsorship folders if you wish to see any, otherwise you can go on-line at worldvision.ca and you can choose a boy or girl from any country where world vision canada operates.

And may God bless you as you trust in Him.

Proverbs 14:31
He who oppresses the poor shows contempt for their Maker, but whoever is kind to the needy honors God.

He who is kind to the poor lends to the LORD, and he will reward him for what he has done.

If a man shuts his ears to the cry of the poor, he too will cry out and not be answered.

Proverbs 28:27
He who gives to the poor will lack nothing, but he who closes his eyes to them receives many curses.

Jeremiah 22:16
He defended the cause of the poor and needy, and so all went well. Is that not what it means to know me?" declares the LORD.
