This is Jecinta Waithira Njuguna. She is 5 years old and lives in Nachu, a town north of Nairobi in Kenya Africa. Jeremy and I are sponsoring her through Compassion International. I wanted everyone to see a picture of her, because we are so excited about this opportunity!! When you think of it, please remember her in your prayers.Since Jeremy and I haven't found a home church, we had been praying about where to give our money to. This was laid on our hearts. We are supporting her monthly, and also supporting Compassion's AIDS Initiative program, since she lives in an AIDS affected community. This is going to give her the opportunity to hear the gospel and learn about Jesus. This will also give her an opportunity to receive an education. We are going to be writing her letters frequently, and someone from the Compassion organization that is based in that area, will read it to her, and help her write us back.
Anyways, we just wanted to show everyone another area of our lives that is very important to us! Please support us in praying for her, when you think of it! :)

I will pray for her. Bless you and her through this venture. I did not know about the Aids Initiative thru Compassion. That sounds great. I wonder how far her village is from Nairobi? Wouldn't it be amazing if Erin could actually see her this summer!
much love
WHAT? Erin is going to Africa again? We love our little Compassion kids. Richard lives in Kenya and Catlyn lives in the Philippines. It's a great organization.
