What is Compassion Thursday??  Well, several bloggers post a child from Compassion International every Thursday. Then we use the power of social media (Twitter, Facebook, blogs) to spread the word. Our hope is that someone reading these posts will step up to make a difference in a childs life & sponsor them.  If you are unable to sponsor Riski we ask that you at least Tweet this post or post it to your Facebook.  To find out more about Compassion Thursday click here.  

Compassion Thursday

On Thursday I normally post a request for someone to sponsor a child via Compassion International.  But today we are going to focus on Haiti.  My bro Shawn W said it best: 

 

Normally on Thursdays myself and a group of bloggers highlight a single Compassion child for sponsorship.

Today I’m going to ask you to head over to the Compassion Haiti page and make a donation of whatever size you can. Of the 65,000 children sponsored in Haiti, some 6,000 are in Port-au-Prince. Who knows how long it will take to determine the fate of those 6,000.

I’m going to ask that you offer up some specific prayers today.

Pray that all 6,000 Compassion children survived. 
Pray that Compassion’s offices are contacted soon (communications are still out). 
Pray that more help not only arrives sooner than later but that relief work can be done unfettered. 
Pray for peace in the region as this kind of disaster lends itself to violent survival instincts. 
Pray for your role in sponsoring a child from Haiti. 
Pray that somehow, through this crisis, people come to know Christ.
