Kari Miller of Bloomington, Minnesota:
“Our church decided to have a drive last year to double the number of our sponsored children. It happened within a month. I think there is a current of God moving in this city for the (impoverished) peoples of the world.”






Lois and Steve Erling of Edina, Minnesota:
“We sponsor a girl in Uganda named Judith who lost her father to AIDS. Our finances are getting tight, but we want to keep supporting her.”






Curtis Gates of St. Paul, Minnesota:
“What struck me tonight was the magnitude of the tragedy. When Bruce Wilkinson spoke about breaking down in tears after reading the e-mail from African pastors, that was very moving. I’ve been frustrated at myself that I didn’t share the burden. About a month ago, I started sponsoring a child in Uganda.”






James Bentley of Edina, Minnesota:
“My wife and I sponsor a boy named Opyio. His parents died of AIDS. He lives with family in Ngoma, Congo. I can write him but I can’t visit because of the rebels in the area.”






Reuben Sequiera of St. Paul, Minnesota:
“I will sponsor a child tonight. It’s amazing how many children are dying of AIDS. I didn’t have a direct means of engaging with this issue. Sponsoring a child fits a real desire to participate. It meets a need.”
