Good morning, everyone! I am writing to let you know what the Christmas Mini Sessions this year were able to do for a special someone I know only a little about. A percentage of the proceeds from the Christmas Mini Sessions this year along with donations from our family was given to a wonderful girl named Dari Mariam Ouédraogo. She lives in Burkina Faso (West Africa) and is 13 years old. Here are the few details we know about her: Dari makes her home with her mother. Washing clothes, running errands, and cleaning are her household duties. Her mother is sometimes employed as a seller in the market. There are 3 children in the family. Dari participates in bible class and is also in primary school. Her favorite activities are jumping rope, hide-and-seek, and playing group games. This sponsorship was made available through the wonderful team at Compassion International and I am so glad to call her mine!
I have written to her and sent pictures and am amazingly blessed to have her already. Through the Mini Sessions and our personal gifts, Dari has been given 6 months of funding-her needs are covered for half a year! I am so excited that the Lord has blessed us through this business so we can bless others and I'm thankful for the clients who keep coming-they are my purple jars.
So in this month, the month we celebrate the birth of our Lord and memorialize the beginning of his presence on this ground, we give Him this gift-to love her as He loves us, to give of ourselves to her, of our blessings to her, and to pray for her.
Thank you for taking the time to read about our new daughter and our glorious new love for her. I can't wait to hear back from her!
“A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another." John 13:34
"But the fruit of the Spirit is love...Against such..there is no law."
Galatians 5:22-23
