Happy Birthday Mireille!

Today, Mireille, a little girl in Burkina Faso that we sponsor through Compassion International will turn eight. Please pray for her with me. She is the one my daughter Evangeline picked and you should hear her talk about how much she loves her. She looks at her picture. She prays for her every night.

At Orange, a young woman named Olive from Uganda who was raised as a Compassion-sponsored child spoke. She told of her life in poverty. She said that all changed one day when her sponsors went up to a Compassion table at an event in Australia. "They didn't just pick a packet of information, they picked me." She is now a faithful Christian college-educated woman who employed as a social worker.

Please consider sponsoring a child by clicking on the link to the right of my blog. But maybe even more so today, please pray for our Mireille. We love her very much.
