For many years we have been sponsoring children through Compassion International. We also have children from Hippo Valley Mission in Zimbabwe. We used to sponsor through World Vision, but they stopped mentioning Jesus in their brochures.
We choose children for different reasons. Some are chosen because they are older. Not as many older children are chosen, because the younger ones are so cute!
We get a new batch of children each month. If someone doesn't choose them, sometimes there is one who stands out to us, and we take them on.
That happened this month. One of the children is named Patricia. As soon as we saw this cutie, we said, "if no one takes her, she is ours!" No one did, so we now have another Patricia in our family!
This happens quite a bit when we go to churches looking for sponsors. It happened in Ohio a while back. Tommy and John boy were in a church and as they usually do, they put the sponsorship packets on the pews. There were two men in that church who were best friends, and had gone to that church all their lives. They always sat in the same pew together. Their names were Pete and Eugene.
After church, they came up to Tommy and John boy and said they wanted to sponsor a child. The guys told them that was great. Then they told them why they wanted to sponsor him. The child's name was Peter Eugene, and his packet was lying on the pew between them—Pete and Eugene!
