Yulissa Likes Chickens and is Learning About Jesus
stacey : March 21, 2017 4:31 pm : Stacey Gagne, Staff PagesAs we have prepared for our 27 Hours of Compassion, I found myself going through letters and photos from the little girls that I sponsor. Yulissa is the little girl that I sponsor from Guatemala. In some of her letters to me she has shared:
- prayer requests for her family
- she likes the story of creation
- she loves to sing
- she loves to color and paint
- she has sent hugs
- she has received Jesus as her Savior
- she is learning to pray
- she wants to be as obedient as Mary the Mother of Jesus
In her most recent letter, Yulissa mentioned that her favorite pets are her cat and chickens. It’s evident in her artwork below.
I love to encourage her, to let her know that I am praying for her and keep reminding her that Jesus loves her.
I encourage you to consider starting this kind of special relationship as an individual or a family today! Visit http://compassion.com/wjtl where you can see all the children awaiting sponsorship and prayerfully consider who you may be able to encourage!
Looking Forward to 27 Hours of Compassion March 21 and 22
stacey : March 20, 2017 7:00 am : Stacey GagneAt WJTL we enthusiastically support the mission of Compassion International to release children from poverty in Jesus name. Our own staff and thousands of area listeners have experienced first-hand the impact of Compassion International through child sponsorship even visiting various projects all over the world.
In February, Fred and Lisa joined a sponsor trip and visited our most recently sponsored project GU501 in Guatemala plus spent time with their own sponsored children. On March 21 and 22 they’ll share more about their trip, plus other local sponsors and staff will be sharing their stories and we’ll be giving opportunities for you to sponsor children from Guatemala, Central America and in various parts of the world.
Tune in on on March 21 and 22 for our 27 Hours of Compassion from 6am to 8pm Tuesday and 6am to 7pm Wednesday. Visit compassion.com/wjtl to see photos of children awaiting sponsorship and prayerfully consider sponsoring a child. We’ll be highlighting various profiles from this page during our on air event.
You can also check out the fantastic photos from Fred and Lisa’s recent trip to Guatemala at our Flickr page.
A spring time prayer by Courtney White:
“Help me Lord to live in the season of Spring.
Guide me as I plant seeds, pull weeds,
and tend the positive growth in my life
so all that is left is what you have planted.
Guide me into your will as I follow your path
and make the first step toward the new life you promise me every morning.
Amen.”

JOHN SHIRK – In the Year of Trust, today’s Focus on God examines His goodness.
According to Acts 10:38, with the Holy Spirit and power, Jesus was anointed to do good and heal all who were under the power of the devil, because God was with him.
In his book, The Practice of Godliness, author Jerry Bridges noted that goodness involves deliberate deeds that are helpful to others. While the Bible uses the word “Good” to refer to what is upright, honorable, and noble concerning moral character, it also uses it to describe actions that are beneficial to others.
When we examine the life of Jesus, we see that His actions were upright and helpful to others. His good deeds flowed out of His good character. He came with the power to heal our brokenness, transform our hearts into His likeness, deliver us from evil, and save us from our sins.
The goodness of God is a reason to trust in God for today and forever.

JOHN SHIRK – In the Year of Trust, today’s Focus on God examines His strength and love.
According to Psalm 62, David was impressed by these two specific characteristics of God.
He wrote in verses 11 and 12: “Two things I have heard: that you, O God, are strong, and that you, O Lord are loving.”
This is a combination of characteristics that gives weight to the evidence that we can trust God. He has the capacity to protect us from our strongest foes and has the compassion to meet us at our point of need. This is why we can celebrate with Paul the Apostle who said, “If God is for us, who can be against us?” When we are aligned with Christ, we live with the confidence that we are more than conquerors in Christ, who loved us at the cross, and rose from the grave with His resurrection power.
The strength and love of God are two reasons to trust in God for today and forever.
