Murugi is 19 years old and lives in Kenya. The other day I received a package from a guy named Greg Birgy, who had led a sponsor tour to Kenya. They visited Murugi's center and took this picture:
They also had each child trace around his or her hand, decorate the paper, and put on each finger something they are asking you to pray for. Birgy writes, "The hope was that you could symbolically "join hands" in prayer with your sponsored child by placing your hand over the traced outline of your sponsored child's hand as you prayed." He also said he hoped this would be a tangible reminder to pray for our children.
I was very touched by this "gift" from my Compassion child.
