YOU can help refugees

YOU can help refugees 2015-12-13T14:02:20-05:00 Jim Meisner Jr.

LOGO Patheos Explore the world's faith through different perspectives on religion and spirituality! Patheos has the views of the prevalent religions and spiritualities of the world.

About 10 years ago I saw Tony Campolo speak.
His message included a suggestion of how we can help others.

He cited the common bad idea that  “we can’t save them all.”
But, he said, we could save one. A way to do that was through a child sponsorship with World Vision.
Since then, I’ve supported a little girl and her family in Haiti.
I’ve also volunteered at events, where I’ve helped others become sponsors.
Perhaps because I have a 22 month-old daughter, I was especially horrified by the death of three-year-old Aylan Kurdi.
I’m working with World Vision to help Syrian refugees. You can help save the next child. It’s tax-deductible in the USA, and it’s a simple way you can help save the life of the next Aylan Kurdi.
Just click the image and follow the link to make a secure donation.
Thank you for your help. God be with you in the season of Advent.
