.              ========== ============= =========== =======

.    IT IS SAD AND SHOCKING to realize that 42,000 needy Children die EVERY
day - Victims of Poverty and Neglect.  Millions who escape Death, However,
face a Lifetime of Hunger, Sickness, and Abuse . Many Never have the Chance
to Go to school. Their Hopes, Dreams and God-given potential are wasted in
a world that Seemingly doesn't care.

.    As Christians, we CANNOT turn away. Jesus COMMANDS us to reach out in
LOVE. Not just with Words, but in ACTION. Put YOUR Love into action today
through   COMPASSION'S Sponsorship program.

.                    WHAT SPONSORSHIP MEANS TO YOUR CHILD

  Having a Sponsor makes a lasting difference in your Child's Life because of
  Compassion's CHILD DEVELOPMENT Approach.  Instead of Focusing on Relief-Type
  programs and Hand-outs, Compassion sponsorship emphasizes education, training
  learning, and preparing. Your Child WILL Receive:

.  o  The chance to attend school and stay in school.
.  o  Necessary school clothing, books, and supplies.
.  o  A School lunch or other food supplements, if needed.
.  o  Christian training in a Christ-Centered Sunday School or Bible Class.
.  o  Health care and instruction as needed-both preventative and curative.
Jesus taught that " Life is more than Food and the Body more than Clothing ".
Compassion believes that " Fullness of LIFE " MUST include a Personal Faith in
Jesus Christ.  All of our programs, therefore, are supervised by Christian
Staff who share this conviction. Our programs are supportive of Local Christian
overseas, representing over 60 Christ-centered missions, churches and Denomin-
ations.  Many children and Parents have come to know the Lord through the
Sponsorship Program.

Well... What shall We do? I have made my Decision!

Please, DO NOT take into consideration - POLITICS and Vain Arguements of MEN.
These are Little CHILDREN who are dying. They DO NOT understand the Reasons,
only the Pain. We MUST show God's Love to them. After all How did Jesus say
all Men would know we are HIS Disciples - By LOVE.
