Rosa In Haiti

A few weeks ago I felt led to sponsor a child from Compassion International. I've heard a lot of great things about it and the kiddos faces melted my heart. I looked over the faces of all the children in need and picked Rosa. She lives in Haiti and is five years old. She enjoys playing hide-n-seek, playing dolls and jumping rope.



We have been talking about her since we signed up to be her sponsor. I've explained to the girls that she lives in a part of the world that doesn't have as much as we do here in America. I told them that we will be sending our money to her for food, education, clothing, health needs and for her to learn about Jesus.

The girls have been so sweet and tender hearted as we pray for this sweet child. They tell me often that she can have their clothes (Saige offered to give Rosa her favorite pair of boots! LOL) and their toys and they will share their food with her. They find change around the house and save it for her. I love this and pray it continues as they get older. We have included her in our nightly prayers as well.

We just received our very first packet from Compassion International explaining what we will do next. We get to send her a family picture, some basic information about us and a short letter that the staff will translate for Rosa. I'm going to have the girls color her pictures from time to time as well so they feel like they are doing something for her.

I'm praying that this journey is meaningful to Rosa and to our family. That her life is changed and impacted through this experience but more importantly I'm praying that she comes to know Jesus as her Lord and Savior. I'm praying that our life is changed from this as well. That we are humbled and serving Christ.
