Once again, The Roadshow is partnering with Compassion International giving those who attend a unique opportunity to change the world. This year Compassion is starting a new program called the Child Survival Program. This program aims to help pregnant mothers and young children until they reach the age of 5 when they are old enough to enter in to the traditional sponsorship program.
“Nearly 25,000 children under age 5 die every day, mostly from preventable diseases.” To prevent these diseases pregnant mothers and infants are provided with prenatal care, access to assisted births, health screening, nutritious food and supplements, and the loving embrace of a Christ-centered church.
So how much does this cost? A mere $20 a month. For $20 a month you will literal change the lives of a mother and her child. As well this is going to change your life. Providing for the well-being of another life changes you in a way that you must experience, I really can’t tell you. So here is my recommendation, if you can afford the $20 a month, do it. Partner with Compassion and change a life, you will not be disappointed.
I was at the Rock n Worship Roadshow in Phoenix on Saturday 4/10. It was sensational and so moving. I didn’t make a commitment that night to sponsor a child in the Rock the Cradle effort that Mercy Me encouraged us to do. I would like to do that now. I want to respond to Mercy Me’s loving request and ask that I be able to make a pledge for $20/month for the women and children of Haiti. I hope that they received the 150 commitments out of the thousands that were there. It was an awesome evening and God was truly alive in that arena.
Thank you and let me know what I need to do next. in God’s love, Eileen
