Covid19 virus is slowing down the interchange of letters. But do keep writing. Just think how excited your child will be to receive an abundance of letters!

We want you to have a meaningful relationship with your sponsored child. An important aspect of that is letter writing. The children receive letters once a month, so Compassion recommends you try writing one letter per month.

Creekside is partnering with Compassion International  to make a significant difference in the lives of children living in extreme poverty in Ecuador.

By sponsoring a child, you can change the entire course of their life. For $38/month, you can extend your family to a child in Ecuador and help provide life-changing opportunities such as:

• Receiving an education
• Medical care and learning personal hygiene
• Nourishing food
• Vocational training, mentoring, developing self-confidence
• And most importantly, the opportunity to hear the gospel

Even more remarkable is that for every child sponsored, there are typically 30 people in their sphere of influence that will also hear the message of Jesus.
