Dear Prayer Partner,

When I was a little boy, I was sponsored by a family from the U.S. through Compassion. My sponsor always sent me words of encouragement through letters.

I still remember in one letter, they told me that they put my photo on the refrigerator so they could see my photo and pray for me every day. They also told me that sometimes their daughter took my photo and kissed it.

When I read all that, I felt so special by knowing that they really loved me. At the end of the letter, they told me how much God loved me. This letter inspired me to accept Jesus Christ as my personal Savior. Since that moment, my life has been changed by the Word of God sent through my sponsor’s letters.

I am so grateful for each person who invested in my life by giving me words of encouragement, hope and love. Proverbs 25:11 says, “The right word at the right time is like precious gold set in silver.” Let us use our words to pray for and encourage one another.

In Christ,

Erlan
