Ann is home

Ann arrived home in the wee hours.  She will need prayer.  On the last day of these trips the bloggers visit the worst the area has to offer, in terms of physical poverty.  In Guatemala's case this was the city dump, next to which 20,000 people live in one square kilometer.  The water isn't even fit for rats. Her husband and her six children, as well as her community, will not understand the depths of her sorrow.  She is forever changed, and will need lots of prayer as she lives in the tension of that change, and as she listens to what God wants her to do next, in response to the truth she's seen.   Here is what Kristin did, six months after returning from Kenya. If you don't have the $38.00/mo. required to sponsor a child, you can write to a Compassion child that someone else sponsors.  Some children don't get letters from their sponsors, and the letter writing ministry addresses that yearning in the children's hearts.  This post explains that to the children involved, the letters mean everything.  They are the life-changing link--relationship.
