Sponsor A Child in India

Change a life in India:

Our sponsorship programs in India enable very poor children to attend school. Many of the children are from the poorest of the poor social classes, including the Dalits or "untouchables." our partners work with Christian families as well as Hindu and Muslim families to meet the costs of educating their children. Most sponsored children live with their families and attend government schools.

Many of the parents are non-literate and unable to help with their children's schoolwork so the ministry workers tutor the children. Part of the tutoring time is spent teaching children from the Bible and another part is spent in Bible clubs and Sunday school programs. Along with reading and writing, the children are taught cleanliness and hygiene, a pressing need in an area where poverty and illiteracy have long prevailed.

Special programs are held for the parents, especially for the mothers. Extracurricular activities such as games and sports competitions, essay writing, singing, preaching, and Bible quizzes are used to help the children grow in all aspects of their lives.

Sponsor A Child in Indonesia

Change a life in Indonesia:

Our sponsorship programs in Indonesia were started to meet a wide array of needs, but all have the same purpose: to provide an education for poor children who could not otherwise attend school, and to share the love of Jesus with the children and their families. One program is for Muslim children who lost one or both parents in the December 2004 Tsunami in northwestern Indonesia.

Another program is for the children of church planters. The ministry wants to create an environment where God's faithful servants can bring up their children in the faith and yet not be disadvantaged because of their call to ministry. Sponsorship eases the financial and emotional burden for these church-planting families. The children attend government schools which operate year round.

A third program cares for children in the remote jungle villages of West Kalimantan. Obtaining an education is important to parents, but considered a luxury by many of them. Sponsorship makes an education and a brighter future possible for these children.

Sponsor A Child in Mali

Change a life in Mali:

Together with our ministry partner in Timbuktu, we helped construct elementary schools in two villages and for the first time ever, desert nomads in the area are sending their children to school! Besides attending school, the children enjoy improved health through better food and medical care, and receive clothing and school supplies.

Children are also sponsored at Timbuktu's Elijah House - an outreach center for orphans and children living in extreme poverty. At the center, children receive two meals each day, an outfit for those who have only tattered clothing, and help to register for public school. Bible classes are held weekly. The children also enjoy games, videos, books, and special programs. Several children have come to know the Lord through this outreach.

Sponsor A Child in Myanmar

Change a life in Myanmar (Burma):

Grace Haven is a government-registered Christian orphanage that cares for orphans and children whose families are so poor they cannot provide for them. Each year, abandoned children are brought to Grace Haven by desperate relatives and neighbors. Today, more than 600 students in nine Grace Haven homes receive assistance to attend school, as well as nutritious food and a loving home environment.

Although our family has not known the Lord Jesus, from your loving kindness I have known that God is a living God!
-Peng Zhi Mei, sponsored child in Myanmar (Burma)

After accepting Christ at Grace Haven, many children go on to Bible school and then return to their country to work as church planters, evangelists, and teachers. Teams of children from Grace Haven have traveled to various mountain areas and even to the borders of China to share the Gospel.

Sponsor A Child in the Philippines

Change a life in Philippines:

Since 1980, our Sponsor A Child program in the Philippines has cared for thousands of needy children. Filipino children are required to pay for tuition, uniforms, books and school supplies, but for poor families who are barely able to secure two meals a day for their children, educating them is a remote dream.

I knew that there was someone who was my sponsor and friend.
-Marife Javillo, sponsored child in the Philippines

Through sponsorship and our partner's other community development programs, families are able to send their children to school. Through parents' rallies and a weekly Bible study which at least one parent is required to attend, many fathers and mothers have responded to the Gospel. At least 20 churches have been established through the sponsorship ministry, and a number of sponsored children have gone on to university for theological study and are now in full-time ministry.

Sponsor A Child in Thailand

Change a life in Thailand:

Eking a living out of the land, many parents in northern Thailand struggle to provide food for their families. Sometimes children must work in the fields, dashing their hopes of ever attending school. But the Sponsor A Child program enables more than 1,000 children throughout North Thailand to attend school.

I was once a sponsored child, given the opportunity to develop my potential. Now that I can serve Him, I can also be a channel of blessing to others.
-Tittiwa, former sponsored child in Thailand, now Bible school graduate and ministry worker in Southeast Asia

Sponsorship was often the initial strategy that opened these villages to a Christian witness. Today, there is a church in each of the villages that participate in the sponsorship program. In addition to sponsorship, local church planters use literacy training, tutoring, Sunday school, vacation Bible school, and other special activities to reach the children and their families with the Gospel.

When their primary education is complete, many children are helped to enroll in high school and Bible school. Ministering to both physical and spiritual needs eventually brings the students full circle as many become church planters among their own tribal people
