The sponsorship program began several years ago when some short-term missionaries wanted to contribute toward the cost of education for some specific students. Since then, a tidal wave of supporters have signed on to support the education of one (or two or three!) children.
In effect this has freed up funds for teachers’ salaries, supplies, training and facility improvements. All of this is made possible when the “cost per student” is covered by generous benefactors.
Our current cost per student is $35 (US) per month and this covers a child’s school and health care needs.
When you come on one of our week-long trips, you have the opportunity to choose a child to sponsor from our list of unsponsored children. But you can simply choose a child from our website and sponsor a child’s education today!
Several times a year, sponsored children will write letters to their sponsor. If you would like to send anything to your sponsor child, please mail it to: Mission Emanuel, 1220 E. Concord St., Orlando, FL 32803. Please be sure to include the child’s full name as well as your name. Please make packages no larger than 11″x14″ manila envelope.

Great! You've already made the decision to enter the mission field and now you would like some more information on what to expect, pack or have other general questions. We have prepared several helpful lists below that you will find helpful as you prepare to unite with other brothers and sisters in Christ to serve in the Dominican Republic:
*Files require Acrobat Reader. If you have trouble, please contact us.
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.
