Help Please

Hello fellow bloggers. I received the following e-mail today from my friend Shaun Groves. He and several others are about to take a trip to Uganda on behalf of Compassion International. As you can see, I've added the widget for their trip to my sidebar. I would encourage you to do the same. It's the least we can do to help the impoverished  children in Uganda & around the world. You can also help by clicking on the give button on the widget. My family sponsors a beautiful girl named Piper from the Philippines. My 5 year old heard Shaun talk at our church about the many children in need. She then turned to her mommy & said..."we have to do something". What will you do?

On Sunday (February 10th) I'm heading to Uganda with 16 other bloggers in hopes of documenting and spreading the life-saving work of Compassion International there. Compassion International is the first organization of its kind to spread its message through the blogosphere in this way and, as a result, hopefully, release hundreds of children from poverty in Jesus' name.

We could use your help making this first-of-its-kind trip a success:

PRAY: Please pray for our technology, creativity, health, families we leave behind, for our thousands of readers and the thousands of children in the third world in need of our help.

READ: Please visit our blogs February 10-18 and leave comments on our posts, let us know you're with us. Go here for a complete list of participating blogs:

SPREAD: If you have a blog yourself, please link to our posts from Uganda, embed the videos we churn out, post a list of the bloggers and invite folks to read along with you. If you don't, e-mail posts that grab you, spread the word about this trip through your network of like-minded friends. Lastly, we've got widgets you can embed on any website. Here are links to those:

SMALL WIDGET perfect for blog sidebars etc:

Thank you for helping us release children from poverty in Uganda.

I'm not sure that a widget would be helpful on my blog since I hardly ever go there, nor does anybody else! That's a good idea, though, for real Blogger People like you and Shaun.

Hey, my Juma and your Piper should get together!
