Just Moments Away

On Saturday I will be traveling with Compassion International to visit my sponsor child in Haiti. Her name is Madiana and she is almost 14 years old. I started sponsoring her when she was just 5 years old. I have been sponsoring her for almost 9 years. I have always wanted to visit her and started looking into it a few years ago.

I will be traveling with a team of about 20 people -- a combination of Compassion International staff members, other sponsors, and people looking to sponsor a child. We will be staying near Port-au-Prince for a week. We will be visiting families that have children in Compassion's sponsorship program, visiting Compassion churches, and spending time with our sponsor children.

I can't believe it is almost here! I have been wanting to visit her for so long and I am finally going! I know that it will be a trip of a lifetime for both myself and Madiana. I look forward to spending time with her for a day and getting to know her more. I am eager to hear more about the Compassion program, and what Madiana can do for college. I know that going to Haiti will be completely different from anything I have ever experienced.

I will post more when I get back from my trip. Thank you for the encouragement, prayers, and support.
