World Vision shines the light of Christ where we are often one of the few Christian organizations allowed to work. We work in these places with “gentleness and respect” as 1 Peter 3:15 asks believers to do among people of other faiths. We pray that our acts of love and lives of character provoke questions to which Jesus is the answer (Matthew 5:16).<\/h5>\n

World Vision bears witness to Jesus Christ through biblically based approaches. Sometimes this is through Christian discipleship programs done in collaboration with other ministries that help children come to know Christ and grow in their faith. Other times it’s through spiritual nurture programs, in which children experience and learn about God’s love. It’s lead by either World Vision staff or in partnership with other Christian churches or ministries, such as Awana, Child Evangelism Fellowship, Young Life, and Youth For Christ.<\/h5>\n

World Vision shines the light of Christ where we are often one of the few Christian organizations allowed to work. We work with “gentleness and respect” as 1 Peter 3:15 asks believers to do among people of other faiths. We witness by our Christian presence through faith-based approaches in life, deed, and sign, sensitively adapted in each context to help children be aware of and develop curiosity about God’s love.<\/h5>\n

World Vision bears witness to Jesus Christ through biblically based approaches. Sometimes this is through Christian discipleship programs done in collaboration with other ministries that help children come to know Christ and grow in their faith. Other times it’s through spiritual nurture programs, in which children experience and learn about God’s love. It’s lead by either World Vision staff or in partnership with other Christian churches or ministries, such as Awana, Child Evangelism Fellowship, Young Life, and Youth For Christ.<\/h5>\n

Transformational Experience for Your Church<\/h2>\n

Together we aspire to mobilize the Church outside its four walls. World Vision helps inspire people to get up, get out, and get excited to walk in the footsteps of Jesus. Together with churches, we create ministry experiences that help others bear witness to the good news of the kingdom of God.<\/p>\n
