The Sponsorship Program is a way to build a relationship that will last through the most important years of a child's life. For $30 per month a child can receive medical attention and an education, but it means so much more. It is a chance to extend your family. Through letters and trips to the community, you can share the little joys in life and see the world through their eyes.
It is also an opportunity to be as Christ instructed, by serving the least among us. What is difficult to describe is that the joyful smiles of these children, experienced in the communion of friends, becomes tangible evidence of God's care and grace for all of us. Visit our children that are in need of sponsorship.
