Then they also will answer, saying, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry or thirsty or a stranger or naked or sick or in prison, and did not minister to you?’ Then he will answer them, saying, ‘Truly, I say to you, as you did not do it to one of the least of these, you did not do it to me.’ And these will go away into eternal punishment, but the righteous into eternal life.”
Matthew 25:44-46 ESV
Below is a display we have in our church. It is fashioned after the idea we implemented at home. On the wall is a world map with orange dots on it. Each dot represents a child that members of our congregation sponsor. We also have information posted on three of the organizations that the majority of the sponsorships are through. After about a month of adding children’s dots to the map, our congregation took time to pray for the children during our services. Also, at these services we were asked to share photos, names, countries, ages of our sponsored children. The congregation broke up into groups and prayed for the individual children.
There are 28 children on our map at church. We could and we will have many more.
