<\/a>My church is partnering with Mission of Hope in Kenya as well as Compassion and Stadia in Ecuador to change the lives children in those areas. With these partnerships, we pray that 200 children will be sponsored by our church.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
The passage that was used in yesterday\u2019s service is Mark 10:13-16 (NVI). Jesus cared about children. This passage tells us that He even \u201ctook the children in his arms.\u201d<\/i> This was Jesus showing love to the least.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
I found it interesting that just this week I mentioned that we have within us the Spirit of sonship or adoption (Romans 8:15). Obviously these sponsorships are not adoptions, but because we know Christ\u2019s love, we are to love others. We have the Spirit within us to move us in that direction. Child sponsorship is an easy way to do so.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Our worship leader ended the service with a song that I share with you today. My eyes teared up as the words \u201cboys become kings, girls will be queens\u201d was sung. Yes, these children who live in the slums of our world will be kings and queens in God\u2019s Kingdom.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
However, in God\u2019s Kingdom, it doesn\u2019t matter what age you are when you come to Christ. Each of us become heir to the riches of God\u2019s Kingdom when we accept Jesus as our Savior. That\u2019s showing love to the least.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
So today, I share \u201cKings and Queens\u201d by Audio Adrenaline. What a blessing we can be to those less fortunate.<\/p>\n

Verse 1:<\/p>\n
Little hands, shoeless feet, lonely eyes looking back at me
\nWill we leave behind the innocent too brief
\nOn their own, on the run when their lives have only begun
\nThese could be our daughters and our sons
\nAnd just like a drum I can hear their hearts beating
\nI know my God won\u2019t let them be defeated
\nEvery child has a dream to belong and be loved<\/p>\n
Chorus:
\nBoys become kings, girls will be queens
\nWrapped in Your majesty
\nWhen we love, when we love the least of these
\nThen they will be brave and free
\nShout your name in victory
\nWhen we love when we love the least of these
\nWhen we love the least of these<\/p>\n
Verse 2:<\/p>\n
Break our hearts once again
\nHelp us to remember when
\nWe were only children hoping for a friend
\nWon\u2019t you look around these are the lives that the world has forgotten
\nWaiting for doors of our hearts and our homes to open
\n(Chorus)<\/p>\n
Bridge:<\/p>\n
