This is Daniel

Daniel is the adorable 10-year-old that we sponsor from Mexico through World Vision. Even though we have never met him, we love him. I love hearing about him, praying for him, and receiving beatuiful art work from him like what we received today (aren’t his flowers cute!).

I know that Daniel has 3 siblings, that his favorite subject is Spanish Grammar, that his favorite sport is football, and that he enjoys spending time with family and friends. I feel privileged that he shares his life with me. If you sponsor a child, I’m sure you know exactly what I mean. Hearing from a sponsored child is the highlight of your day. I’m excited each time we are able to learn more about our little Daniel. If you share that feeling about your sponsored child and want to learn more about him or her, or if you don’t sponsor a child but have wondered what sponsorship is all about, please follow my friend Matthew Paul Turner’s blog, JesusNeedsNewPR next week.

This Thursday Matthew is traveling to Uganda with World Vision and will be blogging about his trip starting this Sunday, Janurary 17th. Even though my Daniel lives in Mexico, I will be reading all of Matthew’s posts to learn more about how World Vision is supporting children all over the world, children like my Daniel.

Matthew is a dear friend and World Vision is one of my favorite organizations. If you follow Matthew or are interested in World Vision, would you consider joining me in supporting them? Here are four simple ways you can help:

• PRAY – Please join me in praying for Matthew, his travels, the people he meets, and his family at home.
• Follow Matthew’s blog next week and share the posts you like on Twitter, FaceBook, or email.
• Add a badge to your blog like the one you see on the right. You can get yours HERE.
• Make his trip a personal experience for you and your family by sponsoring Beatrice or another Ugandan child.
