It’s another boy – and he’s a big one! Alexis will be 20 years old next week and has begun his college education studying architecture. Although he has a biological family of his own, we now consider him a part of our family as well. We are so excited to support his education, pray for him, and get to know him more over the next 4 years. As a graduate of Compassion’s Child Sponsorship Program, and because of his commitment to serving others and furthering his education, Alexis was accepted into Compassion’s Leadership Development Program. LDP will not only provide him with the financial and physical means to attend college such as tuition/books/room & board/etc, but also with Christian Leadership Training, one-on-one mentoring, and a sponsor (us) to share in his journey, encourage him, and invest in his future.

In case you’re wondering why we do this? or how do we know it makes any difference? Or what got us started and inspired us to be sponsors and advocates? Or why don’t you help kids in the US? or how can I love somebody that I don’t know and have no reason to love? … stay tuned, I’ll get to that.
