40 Day Fast...Day 29

Today Brody writes about Compassion International. He and his wife sponsor two children through Compassion. He describes how far their $32 goes in the lives of the children they sponsor:

How far does my $32 dollars go in the life of a child cared for by
Compassion International? I’d say about half an inch. About half an inch was the difference I saw on James’ face when the new photo came in the mail. A photo that has been taken after receiving letters, support and love from a family he has never met. That photo is solid proof that something has changed in this little boy’s world. About half an inch reduced the pain and fear in Roshie’s life enough that her mom sat down to write. Thirty-two Dollars a month will change their lives forever, reaching further than any ocean, or social class. I’ve found that about half an inch is the difference between disappointment and a smile, between sadness and hope, fear and security. Thirty-two dollars a month to make about a half inch difference in a life through Compassion International.


Thirty two dollars. That's not very much, is it?
