Guyaquil to Quito
We traveled from Quyaquil to Quito yesterday. Cities where millions of people make their home and 60% of the children live in extreme poverty. Wess Stafford, the CEO of Compassion International, was traveling with us. As a result of the horrific earthquake in Haiti he had to immediately fly back to the States.
Last evening, Fernando Pugo, the Ecuador country director of Compassion told us that the South American Compassion projects will be sending 1 million dollars to Haitian relief efforts. There are more than 45,000 Compassion sponsored children in Haiti--most of them in Port-Au-Prince. For more info and how to help, go to www.compassion.com.

G,
THIS IS FROM THE COMPASSION WEBSITE:
$105 helps provide relief packs filled with enough food and water to sustain two families for two weeks.
CAN'T WE ALL GIVE UP ONE OF OUR "LUXURIES" FOR A WEEK SO THAT 2 FAMILIES CAN EAT!!!!!!!

When all you want to do is jump on a plane and go help comfort the people who are hurting in Haiti or help in any way you can- ie. the relief packs S mentioned, it really forces me personally to pray about how I can get my finances more in order to be able to act on what God has put on my heart... and not NEED that extra ... whatever that I think is so important to making my life ok. (the ask you made about praying about finances suddenly got very personal-thanks)
