Each new year is a chance to think about what is really important. As a Grandfather of three young girls, I find children come to mind as the most important thing after my faith.  The importance of equiping these precious girls for life cannot be underestimated. My son Huck and his wife Katty are doing a wonderful job as parents. As I watch my son raise his 3 beautiful girls, I also think about the tens of thousands of parents who have so little to offer their children. Across the world, in places I have visited and others I only read about, parents are unable to provide the things in their childs life that might make a difference. They often cannot afford even the tiny cost of sending their child to a school. I am glad I can be a part in helping them too, by working to provide schools, healthcare and the opportunity to hear the gospel. I can also help them by telling you about their plight.
Please consider joining in this effort this year. Sponsoring a child is so easy and yet makes such a difference. You can find out how to do this by clicking on the Give menu on our website.

May God Bless you Richly in 2012
