Compassion International

> [317.769.6972]

Thank you to everyone who agreed to sponsor a child through Compassion International and feed children living in poverty...both with bread and love! As you exchange letters, send photos, and offer encouragement in Jesus' name, your love will bring hope to a child that will last a lifetime. Through the love of the Body of Christ worshipping at ZPC, twenty one new sponsorships have been made over the past month.

Compassion International is a Christian child development ministry that partners with local churches in some of the poorest communities around the world to release children from spiritual, economic, social, and physical poverty and helps them to become responsible and fulfilled Christian adults. Through individually sponsoring a child in need you will have the opportunity to develop a personal relationship with that child through letter exchanges and regular updates about the child.

Faith, Hope and Love

Faith. Hope. Love. We aim to put these three words into action in our communities. If you know of an individual or neighborhood in need of some faith, hope and love, let us know.

Friends for Internationals

If you are here from another country, welcome! We hope to get to know you better. Our group includes families from abroad and international students as well as other ZPCers. We schedule social events and attend the American Familly Dinner Programs at Butler University and the University of Indianapolis. You may be far from home, and we want you to feel at home here, too.

Habitat for Humanity

Are you a working family who needs help with long-term housing? We work with Habitat for Humanity to build new houses and rehab existing ones. This is not a hand-out, but lots of loving hands swinging hammers and helping you invest your time and effort in your new home.

Hotwheels for Hondurans

Small new or gently used toys are being collected by missionary Elizabeth Cook to help make Christmas brighter for kids in Honduras. Drop off Happy Meal toys, dolls, stuffed animals, or Hot Wheels at the Welcome Center through Sunday, October 25.
