Many of you have emailed, sent DM's through twitter, and left comments on Saturday's post titled, "The Power of 2." Alice & Benson are both still waiting for sponsors...

I wanted to offer an update and clarity on the process of sponsoring a child through Compassion.  Almost immediately after Saturday's post went live both Alice and Benson were "selected" on the Compassion International website. 

When a child is selected they are "reserved" for ~60 minutes and then become unavailable to anyone else that might be interested.  This does not mean they are sponsored.  It simply means that someone is waiting to finalize the process of sponsorship. 

The best way to know if a child is sponsored or "reserved" is based on what happens when you click on the child's photo.  If it automatically redirects to a new photo of another child then the initial child has been successfully sponsored.  If you click on the initial child's photo and it takes you to a page that begins with, "We're sorry.  This child was selected..." then it means the process of sponsorship is waiting to be finalized.  If, after ~60 minutes, the process is not finalized that child once again becomes available on the Compassion website. 

If you would like to sponsor Alice and/or Benson click on the links below and keep trying until they are sponsored, but click "select this child" only if you are serious about sponsoring.  It's my prayer that both Alice and Benson will be sponsored before we leave Kenya on Wednesday.

I would like to send you a a framed picture of Alice and/or Benson if you choose to become their sponsor, so please let me know by leaving a comment below...many are praying, and we want to celebrate with you!

Video from Saturday with Alice & Benson...they are absolutely adorable!

Will you pray, with me, that Alice & Benson find a sponsor in the next two days?

• to sponsor Alice, click here.

• to sponsor Benson, click here.

And remember, if you see "We're sorry, the child you selected..." then keep trying.  They are still waiting for a sponsor.  You will know if they have been sponsored if/when you click on their picture and are automaticlly redirected to the profile of another child.

Praying Alice & Benson are sponsored soon,
