Community,  
We have made two videos about Sponsorship.  In video one we go over the responsibilities and blessings that come with Sponsorship.  You can find that video here:

We also know that some of you would like to sponsor a Pilgrim but don't have the time.  In that case you may be interested in our new 'Co-Sponsorship' program.  Check that video out here:

Look for ways to get more information in each video description.

FOOD FOR THOUGHT

                 
A surprise from the seat behind me. (This really happened today)

Church was really crowded this morning and I was sitting one row from the very back up in the balcony section. I had not noticed the people behind me when I came in.

Our pastor began his sermon by talking about an Ann Landers article he had once read. Apparently Ann Landers was tired of all the "year end reports" she got in Christmas cards. You know, the ones where everyone brags about the things that have happened to them in the past year. Things like "Bill got that promotion this year and is now the VP of the company. We were finally able to travel to Europe on our vacation this summer. Our son was voted player of the year on his high school team and .... and so on, and so on.

Ann said she was sick of such progress reports from everyone. She was going to send out a letter that year and she hoped everyone that received it would get the hint and take her off of their mailing list.

Her letter was going to read "Bill lost his job earlier this year and has not found anything else yet. He looks every day but so far, no luck. I have been sick and rarely feel well these days. Our son had to sell his guitar to fix his car that he wrecked. Life is really tough right now.

Everyone in the congregation laughed as he was reading it. Her sarcasm should prove her point.

But as the laughter started to die down, I heard the voice of a little boy about five that was sitting in the seat behind me ask his mother "Mommy, did you write that?"

I still have a tear in my eye. We have no clue as to how much pain is all around us.
