Kassia

Kassia Janayne de Oliveira E Souza is the young girl I sponsor from Brazil. I decided to do this because I think every child deserves a opportunity to have a good solid education, to be able to develop their full potential and most importantly develop a relationship with Christ.

Here is a little about Kassia. She lives with her stepfather and her mother. At home, duties include running errands. Her stepfather is employed as a project worker and her mother maintains the home. There are 4 children in the family. Rolling a hoop, singing and playing house are Kassia's favorite activities.

In primary school her performance is average and she also regularly attends Bible class.

This whole thing works though a company called Compassion International. This is a Christian child sponsorship program, which gives individuals the opportunity to sponsor a child and change their lives forever.. It don't cost much, only $29.00 a month. I think it's a very rewarding thing, knowing that I am helping this young girl.

I am a big fan of Michael W. Smith. I enjoy his music, and his music always ministers to me. I saw one of his concerts a few weeks ago. And during the show he talked about Compassion International. So I thought I'd check out their website, as I browsed though the different children, I was just drawn to Kassia. The Lord put a heavy burden on my heart for her. So I decided to sponsor her.

Michael him self has sponsored a child and has watched her grow and even got to see her graduate from high school. For Michael's story on his sponsored child, click HERE!
