What should I write in the messages I send?

What should I write in the messages I send?

It’s easy to turn letter writing into a big thing for which we must set aside a lot of time. But this means we never get around to it. But a greeting needn’t be long.

Instead, send a simple message which is full of encouragement. 

Here are some ideas:

  • Tell the child you sponsor what you, your family or friends are up to.
  • Share your favourite Bible story or verse.
  • Mention where you live, what the weather is like or what season it is.
  • Remind the child you sponsor that you pray for them regularly.
  • Share your prayer requests and praise reports.

And, if you have the Compassion UK App, you can easily snap and share photos! You can download it here.
