The Bible tells us to pray for those in positions of authority. As we begin the new year, let’s lift up our leaders — who can all be voices of change.
Two ways to sponsor a child
When you sponsor a child for $39 a month, you’ll show God’s love by helping establish sustainable access to basics like clean water, improved nutrition, quality education, healthcare, economic opportunity, spiritual nurture, and more.
The power to choose in a child’s hands®
Mayilche from Ghana
Mayilche from Ghana mirrors the enthusiasm of the sponsor she chose, a teen girl named Mila from Indiana. In Mayilche’s first letter to Mila, she writes, “God bless you for making me happy.”
Greisy from Guatemala
Greisy, 3, lives in a remote area of Guatemala where poverty takes away most choices. But getting to choose her own sponsor? Her smile says it all.
You’ll be stepping into a life-changing connection that empowers the child and their community for a future filled with opportunity. That’s because your monthly sponsorship will help ensure access to essentials that can open doors for kids to experience life in all its fullness.

Fahin, 4, lives in Bangladesh and chose the Pontius family from Minnesota as his new sponsors. He chose them because, “I feel like I already know him!”
What our sponsors say
“Child sponsorship is amazing. It has changed my life in so many ways. If you’re thinking about child sponsorship, do it! It’s the best thing that can ever happen to you mentally, emotionally, physically, and spiritually.”
Renee, sponsor of Maureen from Kenya
“This opportunity brings us together in such a close way that I think a lot of people don’t ever get that opportunity to have a connection like that.“
Joshua, chosen by Ambrose in Uganda
“I’m so wrecked! Kay has a big sister! Her name is Rhema, loves rice + beans and her favorite color is yellow. So emotionally happy and overjoyed! Being chosen is so much more effective than I thought. Thank you for this beautiful experience!“
