Randy Elrod, the person who inspired me to start a blog, has joined with 16 bloggers from across the country to take an epic, missionary journey to Uganda to see and experience and report firsthand about the need for child sponsorship in Uganda. I'm going to feature daily posts on this topic until they return from Uganda. It is their hope and dream and that they will see over 500 children sponsored as a result of their blogging and the outpouring of compassion from the readers of their blogs. Please consider sponsoring a child for only $32 / month. Here's Randy's entire post from February 10. You can follow the rest of his journey at http://randyelrod.typepad.com. Remember - PRAY, READ, SPREAD!!!
To Uganda With Compassion ...
I am heading to Uganda with 16 other bloggers in hopes of documenting and spreading the life-saving work of Compassion International there. Compassion International is the first organization of its kind to spread its message through the blogosphere in this way and, as a result, hopefully, release hundreds of children from poverty.
We could use your help making this first-of-its-kind trip a success:
PRAY: Please pray for our technology, creativity, health, families we leave behind, for our thousands of readers and the thousands of children in the third world in need of our help.
READ: Please visit our blogs February 10-18 and leave comments on our posts, let us know you're with us. Go HERE for a complete list of participating blogs.
SPREAD: If you have a blog yourself, please link to our posts from Uganda, embed the videos we churn out, post a list of the bloggers and invite folks to read along with you. If you don't, e-mail posts that grab you, spread the word about this trip through your network of like-minded friends. Lastly, we've got text links and instructions for widgets you can embed on any website. Here are links to those:
