Blogging for Compassion

You may have noticed the Compassion International button over on the right side of my blog. My family and I are big fans of this organization. Soon, a group of bloggers will be heading to India to document Compassion's work over there and help raise awareness. Here are some ways you can participate:

1. Pray: There have been minor setbacks as this group prepares to depart. Please pray for the health of these people and that they will have a smooth departure and safe travel.

2. Follow: They've made it as easy as they can for the world to read every post, see every picture and watch every video from this trip daily.

- http://www.compassionbloggers.com/india A snippet of every post, every pic and video will be uploaded to this page.

- http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=53591862382&ref=ts A Facebook group has been created not only to generate prayer and encouragement for the bloggers but also to share links to posts, pics and videos.

- Twitter.com. A few of them will be attempting to use Twitter while in India. Here are the addresses: http://www.twitter.com/theshaungroves http://www.twitter.com/spencesmith http://www.twitter.com/flowerdust

Please do at least one of these. Also, consider sponsoring a child from India or from a different country.
