One of the things I love and respect about Compassion is their willingness to try new things. Several years ago, Shaun Groves proposed that Compassion let him take a team of well-read bloggers to see the ministry of Compassion first hand. Nothing would be off limits or censored. The bloggers could ask any questions and blog about whatever they wanted.
It was a success. A HUGE success.
Over the past 5 years, 47 bloggers have gone on 9 different trips and more than 6,000 children have been sponsored.
This week a new team of bloggers are in Nicaragua.

I love these trips because each blogger brings a unique perspective when they share their stories. Most of the bloggers on this trip are new and have never seen the work of Compassion before. It's been fun to see Compassion through their eyes.
I'm especially interested in this trip because we have sponsored Josseling in Nicaragua for 10 years. Last year (January 2012), my husband traveled to Nicaragua and met her and her family. He visited her home and spent the morning at the local church where the Compassion project is located. He was amazed to see Compassion doing what they said they do.

As an advocate, I try to have child packets on hand in case I have the opportunity to share about sponsorship with someone.
Currently I have child packets for 2 children in Nicaragua.
