it’s the fourth of july. tonight, i’ll be hanging out with friends eating large amounts of food and watching people blow things up. we are celebrating our independence.
a few months ago, i talked about the trap freedom can also bring, if we’re not using it for things like truth and love.
it’s the fourth of july. it’s also ingrid’s birthday. even though nicaragua celebrates their independence in september, ingrid is still very much bound by the chains of poverty.
she’s probably spending much of today like most six year olds…she likes swimming and playing with dolls. most adults in Bo. Pedro Avenda?o (where ingrid lives) are unemployed but some work as street vendors and earn the equivalent of $62 per month.
it’s easy to sponsor ingrid. just click here to be taken to her page to learn more about her. if you decide you do want to sponsor her, just click the “sponsor this child” button at the top. (if you decide not to, please don’t click that button as it will remove her page for a while and someone else may miss the opportunity to sponsor her.)
maybe this fourth of july can start a new tradition for you. not only can you celebrate our freedom, you can celebrate ingrid’s birthday as well. and next fourth of july, and the next, and the next, you can celebrate the freedom she and her family will come to know when they are released from poverty in jesus’ name.
