What is Poverty?




You know Compassion International has children in 26 countries who are waiting to be sponsored. YOU can pick a country, age, gender, older, younger, special needs.....  

Ghana, Bolivia, Philippines, Togo, Dominican Republic, Haiti, Honduras..... and the list goes on.....

Some of the children have been waiting over six months....  it is very hard for the older children to be sponsored. To be honest....   so many of us pick a child who is young... cute....   and so the older children wait longer....

This is Antonio. He lives in Honduras. He is 13. He lives with his mom and dad. Helps the family by helping in the kitchen. Antonio has been waiting for 250 days. Antonio will turn 14 on December 23rd. What an awesome Christmas present for him.  If you would like to sponsor Antonio click his name and follow the link or leave a comment and I can help you out! Remember with Compassion ...  it is one on one sponsorship. Which means when you sponsor you are their only sponsor. I love this. I love the relationship I have with our sponsored children!  It truly changes  their life and ours!

Thank you so much for taking the time to read. Please pray for Antonio....  that God would spend him a sponsor this week!


Sponsor a child today!

    From improving your grades in school to your play on the soccer field to just kicking back and having a good time, video games have so much to offer! In this article, we share ideas to help you find great games and rise in your gaming levels.

    Turn off chatting capabilities on games for kids that are young. You should not expose your young kids to these types of communications. If the game won't let you disable chat, don't buy it. If you can't figure it out, search online for more information or talk to the people in the store.

    If you are thinking about buying some new games, join a message board where gamers share reviews of their favorite games. Some gaming forums will give you a wealth of knowledge. You'll find the reviews to be honest as none of the forum members are paid by the developers. Those are the types of reviews that you surely can believe.

    Sit down and play some computer games together with your children. This helps you learn much more about your kid's interests. You will find many amazing conversations happen while gaming. You can also watch and help their developmental skills grow.

    One nice thing you can do for your children if they play computer games is to set aside a specific room (a basement is ideal) for their hobby. Kids can be noisy, so putting them elsewhere can keep your home more comfortable. Try designing a online game area.

    Check out ratings when buying games for children. There is a big reason why video games have these ratings. If the game has a rating of M or A, you should not buy it for your kids. The ESRB website will provide more information about the video rating system.

    You can go to sleep when you are dead! This common myth is believed by gamers and is also propagated by online websites which claim to provide good gaming ideas . Completely false! A person needs a full 8 hours to keep their body healthy.

    Sequels don't always suck. Game sequels are usually better than the original games. To get some background material about the story, just read the box. As well, you can find intelligence about the initial game by reading the reviews about it online.

    There are some educational computer games. These games are a safe bet for young children. Titles aimed at older children or adults often contain violence or other content unsuitable for children. Check out online reviews from other parents so you can discover appropriate games for your child. Purchase only these games.

    Buying a new game is tougher than you may think. You might waste a lot of money on a game you end up hating. Read game reviews before making a purchase.

    Figure out how to operate the safety and parental controls of any gaming system that comes into your home. You can likely make adjustments that keep kids from viewing mature content. Some allow each gaming profile to be customized separately, allowing adults to enjoy games not meant for younger audiences.

    Computer Games can offer you a world of adventure, relaxation and excitement. You can also learn lots of new things as well as being a winner at whatever game you are playing! Whatever genre you prefer, apply what you've just learned and have a better time.
