Viral Vision

In: GOD| Life Change

3 Feb 2009

I love how web 2.0 tools allow vision to go viral. Last week, I posted this blog with a heart shattering video.

Then, it was posted over at Simply Missional.

Then, Flowerdust posted it and had people sponsor Compassion Kiddos.

Then it was shared all over twitter.

Then all over Facebook.

It was posted at These Words of Mine.

You get the idea.

Or do you? We can’t – in good faith – see something like this, know that it is happening…and sit back and do nothing.

Think about it this way…doing something isn’t just about helping these children. It’s not just about releasing children from the burden of poverty — it’s about releasing us from the burden of wealth.

Again, I CHALLENGE YOU.

Go sponsor a Compassion Kiddo NOW.

Something tells me that if you have a computer to read this post, you can probably swing the $32 a month. Sponsoring a child is simple. Over 80% of your sponsorship goes directly to support that child and his/her family with basic needs – food, health care, education and also, Compassion is dedicated to sharing the gospel with these children.

Hey Zak,

I first saw that video on Heather Whitaker’s blog, but I wondered where it started.

Thanks for sharing this! It moved me more than any other video I’ve ever seen.

I’m glad I found your blog. Look forward to reading.
