Creating A Bond That Lasts Forever

I know that I have mentioned this before, but the letters written to your sponsored child create a special bond and a lasting impression on their lives. They cherish the letters they receive from you and truly feel they've been accepted as a part of your family. The letters make a difference in their lives beyond what you could imagine. Since often times you are unable to pack your bags and head to Uganda this is the only bond your child has with you, and they cherish that special bond created through letter writing.

I really want to encourage you to write your children as much as they write you if not more! If you have recently received a letter from your child I encourage you to take a few minutes out of your busy schedule to write back to them. Encourage them in their journey, commend them for their good works, share scriptures with them and talk about common interests between you. If you have yet to send a picture of you or your family, print some out and send them their way. How fun it will be for them to see the face behind those words, to know exaclty who is writing them and helping them to have a brighter future. So as an encouragement to you, I want you to see the words of our children so that you can know just how impactful your letters are.

"I was excited to see your photos and the rest of the family members. I am so glad to be a part of your own family."

"It will be fun hosting you and your parents next year. I am praying for you. I love you with all of my heart."

"Thank you for having a special place for me in your heart. Thank you for loving me and praying for me. I am so happy and excited most of the time because I know I have parents in America who love and care for me."

"Am so happy to hear from you. Thank you for appreciating the letter I wrote. I feel so blessed to be sponsored by you."

"Thank you for sending me pictures and writing a letter to me. I think about you all the time. I pray for you everyday."

"I am a God fearing person and you were given me by God, so I praise God for that. Thank you for making my future bright."

Because of Calvary,
