5 Ways to Love Our International Neighbors

|

Sharing is caring!

I remember each precious face from the week I spent in Bolivia as a Blogger for World Vision.

That trip increased my awareness of the importance of loving my international neighbor.
Many governments around the world are either unable or unwilling to help the
“least of these” living among them.

For the past year and a half, I’ve made it my goal to find ministries that
change lives around the world.

Here are my 5 favorites:

World Vision

Faces in Bolivia

Arminda, in the top left corner, who captured our hearts with her winsome smile.
Abigail, second from right on the bottom, our sponsored child, gave me a hug I will never forget.

Many of these children live in one room huts without doors, windows or floors.
Others like the young boy holding the puppy lives in a house with those provisions,
because World Vision Staff helped his parents learn a skill to earn an income.And consider joining us in sponsoring a child through . . .

  1. It’s so good to highlight these ministries, Deb. I wouldn’t have an easier time a millionaire because it would be hard to choose where to devote most of the money, but God can provide for them all. That’s a comforting thought.

  2. I agree Mel, God inspires and gives us passion for various ministries and cares for all. I love that!

    1. Sarah, You are very welcome. I am so thankful for the way Samaritan’s Purse is touching lives all around the world.
