Finally a new blog

Pat and I have a little Girl through Compassion International, I have written a blog about her before. Her name is Monique, she lives in Burkino Faso, Africa. At Christmas time we decided to Bless her family with a financial gift. Compassion International takes the money and uses it to buy items for the family. Recently we received a picture of Monique and her family with the items that were purchased for them. They got a piece of sheet metal and rafters to repair the roof over their Kitchen, also corn, rice, spaghetti, oil, sugar, milk, cookies, soap, a dress and shoes for Monique and her mother is holding Fabric than can be made into a dress. This is the first picture we have ever gotten that Monique is smiling. August 27 is Moniques birthday whe will be 12 years old. She asks us to pray for her father he has breathing problems.
Pat and I receive such a blessing knowing that we are making a difference in this families life. We pray that they know that Jesus loves them and has picked them especially to be ministered to through Compassion International.

If anyone wants to ask us about sponsoring a child please ask, It is $32.00 a month, a little more than $1.00 a day. We feel it is a good investment. We hope to sponsor more children in the future.
