What I consider one of Matt Redman’s most powerful songs. Facedown from the album entitled Facedown. Be sure to watch the whole thing.

Compassion Thursday – Luz needs you

UPDATE: Guess what? You’re too late. Someone sponsored Luz! Don’t fret, though; there’s still plenty of children in need. See them here.

Continuing in our Thursday tradition, we highlight a Compassion child that has been waiting six months or more for sponsorship. Not sure if sponsoring a child through Compassion is worth it? I beg to differ.

Luz from Ecuador has been waiting six months to be sponsored. I’m challenging you to make a difference in her life, right now.

Luz makes her home with her father and her mother. Carrying water, caring for animals and running errands are her household duties. Her father is sometimes employed as a farmer and her mother is sometimes employed as a farmer. There are 2 children in the family.

For fun, Luz enjoys singing, playing house and playing with dolls. She attends Bible class regularly and is in pre-school where her performance is average.

You can be a life changer to Luz. Click here if you’d like to sponsor Luz right now. If you’d like to view other children in need of sponsorship, click here.

If you choose to sponsor Luz, please hit up my contact page and let me know.

This week in Fun Stuff

Don’t forget, click that Fun Stuff button up there and you can get access to hours and hours… er… well, a few minutes of raucous laughter!

Okay, I can only guarantee a couple minutes of mild amusement.

Either way, if you’ve not checked out the Fun Stuff button, here’s what you’ve missed:

• This kid LOVES Estelle Getty
• Dinosaur loose in the LA Museum
• Nike Courage
• Break Dancing Baby (a classic)
• How to nap

…and more. Be sure and check it out. Got some fun links you’re keeping to yourself? Well, stop it and fill us all in!

Help make every week a Compassion week

For the past few weeks I’ve featured a Compassion child in need of sponsorship on Thursdays. As of this week, CaffeinatedFaith is highlighting a child every Wednesday.

What does that mean? That means, we need YOUR help to round out the week. At the very least we need a blogger to highlight a Compassion child on Mondays, Tuesdays and Fridays. Just one post a week.

Are you up to the challenge? If so, post in the comments and pick a day that works best for you.

Don’t worry about whether you think you have the tech savvy to know how to post a child’s info. If you commit to a day, I can help you get your child featured on your blog.

What do you have to lose? Let’s rock this thing!
