WORLD VISION - Will you do your part to help a child in critical need?

About 15 years ago, while living in Gadsden and Rainbow City, AL, I began listening to the Rick and Bubba show http://www.rickandbubba.com/ who broadcast their show from there. Over the past several years, Rick and Bubba's show has become a nationally syndicated talk show as well as a TV show. Now that I live in VA, I listen via the Internet, to these 2 wonderful guys every morning. They are hysterically funny, have hearts of gold, and are outspoken about their faith in God - on a secular radio station! Countless times, they have had me laughing so hard that I could barely catch my breath. Most of the time, their shows are peppered with serious issues. Today is such a day as they focus their 4 hours on-air to promote and help out with the wonderful folks at World Vision. World Vision is doing unprecedented work to change the lives of thousands of children who are in critically dire circumstances around the globe. At least 85 cents of every sponsorship dollar goes directly to help a child in need. As a sponsor, you develop a true relationship with your child through letters, photos and care packages (optional) that you send your child. The children write you letters and you are able to see how your sponsorship is directly changing the life of the child. When you click on the World Vision link (provided on the home page of Rick & Bubba's website) a child's photo will appear with a description of the living conditions, health conditions, etc. of the child in need of sponsorship. Now, you have the option to search for a child with specifications that you are led to (age, country of origin, etc.) or you can do as I did and agree to sponsor the child whose info and photo appear on the page. Know that the children show up on the screen in the order of the length of time they have been waiting for sponsorship.


I should add here that my heart truly lies in home missions because I see such needs within my own community that I've always found it hard to justify sending my money outside of my own country. I've done it, but my heart hasn't always been in it - just being transparent here. BUT, God has been moving on my heart lately about expanding my giving to other areas outside of my community. It has been said, "The poorest of the poor children in the US would be RICH compared to most of the children in third world countries." So, in obedience to God's leading, this morning, I signed up to sponsor a child and her information is below. Won't you please prayerfully consider sponsoring a child who, without your help, faces a painful life of unbelievable poverty, hunger and disease. God bless you for considering this.



Congratulations! You have sponsored Tigist from Ethiopia

Tigist lives with her parents and 3 sisters. Her parents struggle to provide for the family. Her father is a farmer and her mother is a housewife. Despite their efforts, it is difficult to meet the family's needs.

Tigist and her family live in a community severely affected by the HIV and AIDS crisis. In some communities, AIDS affects the entire social structure as a generation of hardworking adults is being wiped out. Frightened children and exhausted grandparents rarely have money for food, school, or medical care. Through sponsorship, you can help with these and other basic needs for Tigist and her family.

Tigist is not in school at this time. She likes to jump rope. She helps at home by carrying water. She is in satisfactory health.

Your sponsorship commitment will help provide Tigist and her community with the assistance they need to save a generation from the HIV and AIDS crisis. World Vision will faithfully use your sponsorship support of Tigist to meet her needs and minimize the impact of AIDS in her community through tangible prevention and care programs. You are an answer to prayer, helping children and families gain access to basic needs and learn about God's unconditional love.
