http://compassioncan.blogspot.com/2011/03/africa-2011-child-slavery-rescue.html
Compassion Can {Beyond Measure}. Thursday, March 24, 2011. Africa 2011: Child Slavery Rescue. In 2009, I joined the Bloom Book Club, where I met Tia. She and I had a lot in common, including our love of God, Africa, and our sponsored children. We soon became best friends. Tia had served in Africa twice, and when one of our Compassion children learned this, he began to pray that we would serve in his country of Ghana. As you read the rest of this post, you too may decide to join us. With false promises of...

Compassion Can {Beyond Measure}. Friday, May 09, 2014. It seems so fitting that this small jar would typically be used for preserves - something to contain and protect food that sustains and gives life. Right now, this one contains only small change. but there's nothing small about the change it will make. This is Jeya's Jar - a small jar our women's Bible Study group uses to collect spare change for Jeya. Jeya is a widow who takes part in the Family Support program. Through the His Hands for India.

Compassion Can {Beyond Measure}. Sunday, February 23, 2014. Ghana 2014: Building With Books. Do you have a childhood memory so strong that to this day, by simply concentrating, you can remember the exact smell of that environment? Do you remember the smell of a library? It was something that I took for granted as a child growing up in Canada. I don’t think it ever dawned on me until I became an adult that reading isn’t always a part of childhood, and neither is access to books. And about our trip *here*.

Compassion Can {Beyond Measure}. Thursday, April 30, 2015. June 30th, 1949 - September 13th, 2014. Photo Credit - Sebastien Benoit (son). As you may know, my beloved mama, Docile, lost her life in a drowning incident last September. Her death has been one of the most devastating losses we've ever experienced as a family, a loss that has also shaken her friends and co-workers to the core. Just as too much water can lead to death. so can too little. As a monument to her precious, generous life,. Child Slav...

Compassion Can {Beyond Measure}. Thursday, December 13, 2012. The Value Of A Minute. How did that happen? Wait, didn't you just get back from Haiti. Given that it was the most frequently asked question I've heard in the past few weeks, that is what I shared first about my impending mission trip to India, in this post. The second most frequent questions were " What will you be doing there? Who are you working with this time? Is this another independent trip? 21 million precious souls a year. This continue...

Compassion Can {Beyond Measure}. Friday, March 08, 2013. India 2013: Hidden In Plain Sight. It was the same. In India, much like in Honduras, Ghana, Cameroon, and Haiti – we sought out the poorest areas - areas where people lived far below the invisible poverty line. Areas where homes were made of whatever materials could be afforded – whether it’d be mud walls and thatched roofs, shelters pieced together with scraps and leftovers, or solid concrete or adobe structures. It was the same. Desperation for "...
