I am honored to be able to try and help.
I got involved because I have sponsor a child for some years and thought it might be a good way to give back for all God has given to me and help a little those who deserve so much a chance to grow and enjoy their lives. I really believe in the mission and am impressed with CFCA and everyone associated with them; they seem to live very well and naturally what they preach.
I was shown a DVD when in KC of your preaching, as an example for us newbies to immitate. I hope I can be half as efective one day! You have a gift for it and your own sincerity, beleif and commitment shine through.
India? that must have been an experience. Have spent some time in Africa. Will be back there in August. thanks again. means a lot. Hope our paths cross one day.
Mark Lane

Thank you too for your kind words. So pleased you and your husband got to go to Bolivia. That must have been a great treat for you and your sponsored child. I saw how precious that was for the others on my trip to Guatemala. I can still see the joy it gave all. Thank you for being a sponsor. God bless. Fr Mark

Lane: What a wonderful article. You captured the heart of sponsorship. My husband and I just returned from Bolivia, where we visited one of our sponsored children. A CFCA misson awareness trip is the icing on the cake of CFCA.

I have sponsored children in Guatemala for almost 20 years, and I appreciate learning more about its geography (your description was beautiful) and the broader effect of our sponsorship dollars. God bless you and everyone throughout the world who is seeking to regain his/her self -esteem.
