Hope for sponsorship

NEW SCHOOL YEAR is right around the corner in Cielo & Nazaret and we have very exciting news to tell you regarding Mission Emanuel’s Child Sponsorship Program!

Emmanuel and Karen Corsino

Many of you already know this delightful Godly young man, Emmanuel Corsino. Did you know that because of caring Americans who sponsored Emmanuel as a child, that he was able to attend our Nazaret School? It was during that time that he was also mentored in our discipleship program thru his teens. Then, with a great Christian based education as his foundation at high school graduation, he began his college career, and eventually married his lovely bride, Karen.

We realized that this smiling young boy had grown up into a wonderful young man with a hunger to minister to his fellow Dominicans. So, Mission Emanuel hired him immediately! Emmanuel began as a translator, taking on more and more responsibility with great enthusiasm. Today he is in the top tier of leadership helping to oversee the day-to-day ministry for Mission Emanuel, as well as heading up the Boys Cub, that disciples teen-age boys, as he had been mentored as a youth.

It is only natural that Emmanuel developed a strong desire to help today’s and tomorrow’s children in his community, to receive the same opportunities he did as a child, through a solid Christian education. God provided the next step for him to serve in an even more impactful way, to fulfill the desire of his heart!

With great pleasure we announce that, Emmanuel Corsino is our new Coordinator of Sponsorship in Cielo! He will work along side the assistance of Ronel Capellan, who together, will take on the task ahead of them to increase sponsorship of children in need of the education.

At the beginning of last Fall’s school year, we lost many American sponsors to students already enrolled in school and this hugely effected our program. Over the course of the past year we have diligently found many new sponsors to come along side these children, but we are still in great need! Because of this, Emmanuel and Ronel have met with the families of children who are still in need of sponsors, to let them know that unless we find a new sponsor for them, they will not be able to return to school this Fall. THAT BREAKS OUR HEARTS!

By becoming a child sponsor today, your tax-deductible contribution of $40 a month not only allows a child to attend an accredited Christian school, but your support will also give them access to medical care, dental care and most importantly of all, your sponsor child will hear about Jesus Christ and be encouraged to develop a lifelong relationship with God.

Will you please consider sponsoring a student if you are not already doing so? Or, if you are a current sponsor -and we thank you so much!!!- would you commit to sponsoring another child or asking your friends, church group, Sunday School class, home group, etc. if they would be interested in joining our partnership with these wonderful, Christ-centered schools, so a community of needy children can have their futures changed forever into a positive direction?! We need sponsors for approximately 50 children in the next two weeks! Please call us today to match you with a waiting student!
