Creativity With Our Wallets?

HAPPY CHRISTMAS!

Today is Christmas Day, a time when most of us look forward to celebrations with friends and family.

However, some people are not so lucky and it was great to receive the e-mail below from Zoro, one of greatest groove drummers of our day, with some information on the work he is doing with children in extreme poverty and need.

I have posted the complete e-mail so that you can hear in Zoro's own words what his position as an International Spokesperson for Compassion International means to him and the people he helps ... bringing a bit of the Christmas spirit to people all-year-round.

I guess that's why I called this entry 'Creativity with our wallets'

Me with my Compassion Children Justin and Cindy in Guatemala

Dear Friends,

I am writing to encourage you to do something meaningful and powerful this Christmas – sponsoring a child in need through Compassion International. Sponsoring Justin and Cindy has been an incredible blessing to myself and my family. They are living examples of the heart of Christ at work, teaching us what it really means to put our faith into action, one child at a time.

Please take a moment and view my video testament for Compassion http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=auf9oJ_Q6_c, then click the link below to get started making a difference for a child in need. I know you will be richly blessed by this experience. It is the work God calls us to do, and if we take the step in faith, he will give us the resources to see it through.

Yes – I want to join Zoro and sponsor a Compassion child today http://www.compassion.com/Sponsor_a_child/default.htm?referer=Zoro_66561

When you choose to sponsor a child in need, you are linked with one particular child who will know your name, write to you, and treasure the thought that you care.

Share prayer requests Exchange letters and photos. Make an eternal difference in the life of a child!

Change a child's world.Your tax-deductible contribution of just $32 a month connects your child with a loving, church-based child sponsorship program that provides:

- Educational opportunities Health care and supplemental nutrition
- Opportunities for safe recreation Opportunities to learn about important life skills
- Most important of all, sponsoring a child will allow your child to hear about Jesus and be encouraged to develop a lifelong relationship with God.

Compassion is highly rated: Charity Navigator, an independent charity review group, has given Compassion their best rating five years in a row. That places Compassion among the top 1 percent of the thousands of non-profit charitable organizations they review. Compassion is also a good-standing member of the Better Business Bureau Wise Giving Alliance.

Thanks so much for your time and allowing me the privilege of sharing my hearts desire with you.

God bless you and your family this Christmas.

Zoro
