I know God is pleased with you because you are making a difference in a child's life. You are being a Good Samaritan, thank you.... thank you.... thank you! Would you like to become a Christian? The only way we are guaranteed eternal life is through Jesus Christ. If you have a Bible at home read the book of Matthew from the beginning to end. A touching scripture that is shared with kids at Compassion is, "For God so loved the World he gave his only begotten Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life." I care about your future and so does God. Give God a chance, you have nothing to lose, God is all we have at the end of our life. I will be praying for you. Tamara Thank you for sponsoring a child.

The folks were all gussied up in their pretty church clothes and had never heard of Compassion. He showed some pics and gave a message about the starving girl he met on the road. We don't know what it means to be that hungry. We don't know despair. If we did we would not have drug addicts and alcoholism. He said the largest church on the planter is not stepping up to help those who are starving and desperate. The people in the US need to step up, not just sit back and say our government does a lot for other countries. The s so caught up in themselves that many are blind to real poverty. Our poverty here is self induced. I worked a table at a Shaun Groves event at a church in Kentucky. The folks were all gussied up in their pretty church clothes and had never heard of Compassion.

I tend to struggle with a similar issue when marketing my company's services to recreational programs for children's emotional and physical special needs. I built the organization from my heart, but have trouble 'selling' services to such wonderful causes. It's a touchy subject where the only effective approach is an authentic and honest one. Again, terrific advice - #3 & #5 are my favorites! Great article with applicable suggestions that transcend non-profits, cause initiatives, and religious affiliations.

As an employee of Compassion, I often have to figure out where the job ends and the cause/passion begins (or vice-versa?). It's more tough than ever after an experience like a sponsor tour. Regardless of where you work or live, how do you come back to your comfortable life without being very uncomfortable? How do you share that discomfort with others? I think Shaun's suggestions should help! Win, it was great to share the trip with you and I pray that all of us who visited those projects and hugged/loved those kids find our voice. I was also on that trip!

As a Compassion Advocate I'm constantly looking for tangible advice. Your advice listed here, and format-friendly outline I learned through the October Advocate Conference, will couple nicely for my next presentation opportunity. Well said Shaun!

After several years of being involved with Compassion and advocating for children, I think I have allowed knowledge to overwhelm my passion. Thankfully, tho', I also have many stories, so finding one to share is never a problem. I will focus on asking the Lord to bring the right story to mind, for a given moment. I will share your tips with my advocate team! Blessings to you! Shaun, thank you so much!
