Calling on the Men...

As I wrote to you yesterday, right now there is a team of Compassion Bloggers in Uganda who are visiting a Compassion Child Development Center and are sharing their experiences each day.  I want to share with you one particular blog from today but before I do I want to tell you why I'm sharing this one.  In the blog you'll read a great story that conveys the need for men to be involved in the work of Compassion.  This is a concern that I have had for a couple of weeks now.  As you know I'll be traveling on my own Compassion trip soon going to Bangladesh. The team that I'll be traveling with is overwhelmingly made up of women.  I've noticed too that the team on the trip to Uganda is primarily women. Now I obviously don't won't to get into a big discussion on women and their role in ministry. Nor do I want to in anyway diminish the wonderful role that women have in sponsoring, working with, and changing the lives of children through Compassion. In fact, my experience with Compassion is that women are the backbone and the core of Compassion sponsors.  However as this blog by Brianne McKoy there is a special place and a special need for men to take an active role in providing hope and love to these wonderful children in need.  With that said please take a moment to read Brianne's blog and more importantly take a moment to find a child whose life you can change forever - Sponsor a Child Today.
