About Child Sponsorship

Millions of children must fight to survive through hunger, exploitation and hopelessness. But through child sponsorship, children receive the care they need to conquer the challenges of poverty and achieve freedom in Jesus’ name. Sponsorship transforms children’s lives, empowering them to transform their families, communities and the world.

“Millions of children around the world live in extreme poverty. Child sponsorship fights back.”

Marcos & Isaac Have Hope Through Sponsorship

Twins Marcos and Isaac lost their mother during childbirth. Their father, Honorato, worked endless hours to provide for them, but it wasn’t enough. But through the local church, they received medical care, groceries, diapers and formula, equipping Honorato with resources and hope. Now, at 6 years old, Marcos and Isaac are healthy and thriving. They’re attending school and growing in their relationship with Jesus. “My sons love going to the center. They have a lot of fun there ... and it’s also where they teach them God’s Word. Having them there gives me a sense of relief and hope.” — Honorato That’s the difference your yes to sponsorship can make.
