Compassion

It leaves me in awe to receive the following prayer from a child that is so far away that appears to have very little on the surface.

This is the first letter we have received from our sponsored child in Ghana Africa. Her name is Genevieve and we are sponsoring her through Compassion.

Dear Simon and Laura Reilly,

Message for my sponsor             
Genevieve and her family say thank you very much for taking their daughter as your sponsored child may the lord richly bless you and your family.

Question for my sponsor             
Your sponsored child wanted to know your job description and your favorite food.

Prayer for my sponsor                  
It is her prayer that God should open more chances for you and give you long life and prosperity.

Prayer request from child           
Genevieve says pray for her to be obedient and brilliant at school.
