  2. For millions of children, the unchanging, ruthless story of poverty is all they have ever known.

  3. Imagine the eternal hope that is forged when children who have only ever known hunger, disease, neglect and the disadvantages caused by poverty are introduced to Jesus. We have the power to CHANGE THEIR STORIES.

  4. Here are just a few tragic statistics about poverty: • •Over nine million children under the age of five die each year. • Two thirds of these deaths – more than six million every year – • are preventable. • •Over 1.4 billion people in the developing world live below the • poverty line (U.S. $1.25 per day). • • In developing countries, approximately 130 million children and • teens – age 17 or under – have lost one or both parents.

  5. The Bible shows us how God delights in rewriting stories. • ‘to bestow on them a crown of beauty instead of ashes, • the oil of joy instead of mourning, • and a garment of praise • instead of a spirit of despair. • They will be called oaks of righteousness, • a planting of the Lord for the display of his splendour.’ • Isaiah 61:3 (NIV) • One of the most amazing things as Christians is that He allows us to be part of this purpose!

  6. You can change the story for a child living in poverty by sponsoring through Compassion. • Make a lasting difference for the child you choose to sponsor. • Encourage and support your sponsored child through letters and prayers. • Help them feel loved, valued and cared for.

  7. Every child sponsored: •Receives help through local, indigenous churches working in partnership with Compassion. • Gains access to health services, educational assistance, counseling and supplemental food. • Gets to hear the good news of Jesus.

  8. Be prepared to take a journey that will change a child’s life forever. It begins with you!
