Compassion Sunday Recap

First let me say thanks so some people. Thank you to the leaders of the Orchard Church for allowing me to share this ministry w/ everyone. Thank you to my husband who does all the talking for me. And thank you to all of you who listened and a special thanks to those of you who took child packets home to pray over them and consider sponsoring them. I really appreciate each and every one of you and your part in this extraordinary ministry.

For those of you who were not able to attend this morning, let me give you a lil recap. This year, instead of allowing people to take child packets home to sponsor them, we decided that we wanted you not to make a commitment today...but to take a child packet home for the week, pray over it, and make a decision one way or another as to whether or not you want to sponsor that child. This year we had 8 child packets. Three of them are with people of our church being prayed over as I write. Five of them are still looking for potential sponsors. I am going to list them each here for you with a lil background information. If you are interested in possibly sponsoring one of these children, please email me at ashleyjohnson654@gmail.com. Regardless of whether you choose to sponsor or not, please pray for these children and the thousands of others waiting for sponsors.
