Meeting for the first time
When I began sponsoring a child several years ago, I never imagined all that God would do in my heart. I have found that sponsoring a child has changed me, as well as my children, in ways that would never have happened had I not taken this step of faith and obedience.
One of the best things about sponsoring a child through Hearts of Christ, is that going to meet my sponsored child is a very real and possible opportunity! {Look here for more information on going on a mission trip yourself!!} I have now been twice to Belize with Hearts of Christ and have been able to meet my sponsored child, her family, take them groceries, take them a Bible as well as other gifts.
Meeting my sponsored child along with her family has been one of the highlights of my entire life. I just cannot tell you how precious it is to have a mother wrap her arms around you, with tears in her eyes, and tell you just how much it means to their family that you sponsor their child. In the United States, we just have no idea how much an education truly means to those who can't afford it on their own.
Seeing my child's home was a very humbling experience for me as well. The blessing was all mine and I felt so honored that they welcomed me into their home to meet their family.
I was also able to see my child's school...
And these are the bathrooms at her school...

Sponsoring a child is an amazing experience for a family to do together. My children are learning about another culture, they are praying for a family on the other side of the world, their eyes are being opened to how other people live their lives so differently from ours. We have our sponsored child's picture hanging in our home and pray for her daily. Truly, it is one of my favorite things we have done as a family! And someday I hope to take all of my family to meet our sponsored child!! What a day that will be!
"And the King will answer them, ‘I assure you:
Whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers of Mine, you did for Me.’"
Matthew 25:40
What a beautiful privilege to be able to meet her.
