Change starts today
Join us for a very special CBU Chapel on February 7, 2023.
Get ready for an event that’s bound to touch your heart.
The world needs you
Each of us has been chosen by God and is deeply loved. That’s a lot to wrap our minds around. But it’s the truth — the real, absolute truth. This truth can inspire us to love others the way we’ve been loved. It can lead us to share God’s love with others, not just in our own communities, but around the world.
The time is now
You’re never too young to speak up, to act, to make a difference. So why wait? Together we can choose to help end generational poverty. At Chapel on February 7, come hear about Chosen — a new approach to child sponsorship that puts the power to choose in a child’s hands. Then raise your hand, take that step, and experience the kind of joy of that comes from living out your faith.
The power to choose in a child’s hands.®
All around the world, poverty is stealing choices from kids. It’s time to give them back.
Introducing Chosen, World Vision’s new invitation to sponsorship. For the first time, kids have the power to choose their own sponsors. Now the choice is theirs … the choice to take hold of their future … to become change-makers in their communities … and even the choice to step into a life-changing relationship with you.
Child sponsorship has been proven to be one of the most effective ways to fight poverty. As a sponsor, you’ll help empower a child and their entire community to stand confidently on their own, free from poverty, thanks to essentials like clean water, nutrition, basic healthcare, education, and more. Your $39 monthly gift will combine with other sponsors’ gifts, showing God’s love to an entire community–and giving kids the opportunity to experience the fullness of life. A child is waiting … to choose you!
Meet Elizabeth
Elizabeth is from Uganda. When she was young she almost dropped out of school due to her family’s poverty. Yet thanks to the gift of a cow from a World Vision donor, her education was paid.
“I was dreaming of going to university, but this was to remain a pipe dream had World Vision not come in to support me,” she says.
Now 24, Elizabeth is a teacher near her home in Uganda, inspiring other kids. World Vision also built a new secondary school in her community. Her message to young people? “Focus on making the most of where you are … keep learning. Get skills. Be helpful. Be the first to jump up and do something if something needs doing.”
