Seth is a nineteen year old who was raised in Hornell, and feels that God is calling him to a ministry with Compassion International. Compassion International is an organization through which you can sponsor children. From the Compassion website:
Child sponsorship leads to a lifetime of learning. It's a powerful approach to Christian child development, providing children with a broader view of the world and educating sponsors about the political and economic realities sponsored children face. This relationship provides both children and sponsors with a concrete example of how God works around the world.
Learning for Life focuses on a child's life from school age until program completion, aiming to prepare each sponsored child with the skills and knowledge required to assume adulthood, including those activities that will make the community a better place to live. We focus on preparing children to:
* Follow Jesus Christ in faith and deed as part of their spiritual training
* Support themselves and share with others in need as part of their economic training
* Be responsible members of their family, church, community and nation as part of their social training
* Maintain their own physical well-being
Seth's message had two distinct parts. First, from 1 Corinthians 13, we had a look at what love is. If God is love, and we are to love as God loves, we need to understand what Godly love looks like.
From there, we went to Luke 10, the passage about the good Samaritan who stopped to help. His point - Love would stop to help. The tie in with Compassion came when he likened the children that could be sponsored to the beaten man on the road left to die. Who will help them.
There is no manuscript for this message, but Seth has allowed us to make the audio recording available. If you would like to hear Seth's message, click here...
