Brennan Wimbish (Assistant PD/Promotions of WGTS-FM in Washington DC) took a similar trip with Compassion to Africa in July.
One of the most encouraging things I saw on my Compassion International trip to Kenya was in a family’s small, one-room home no bigger than a small storage shed. There in that dark shack made of scrap metal and anything else the family could find was a framed picture of an American family on the wall – the child’s sponsor family. It was incredible to see the difference that one family made from half a world away. What was even more mind-boggling was just how little it takes to create change. Only $30 a month. Compassion International has been the catalyst for effecting change in lives all over the world and I was blessed to get a peek of them being the “hands and feet” of Jesus.
