Compassion Week - Day 1
Today the team and I are visiting a Compassion project in Quito, Ecuador. The project we are visiting serves infants and their mothers through Compassion's Child Survival Program as well as Compassion's traditional Christian child sponsorship program. This project, like all Compassion projects, is church based and administered through a local church and body of believers. I am looking forward to posting pictures and details tomorrow.

Commentary
Concern for orphans and widows in need is a demonstration of godliness (James 1:27). Children and widows are often powerless in a hostile world and need caring individuals to speak and act on their behalf. Because God cares deeply for poor orphans and widows, so should we!
