...'Lord, when was it that we saw you hungry and gave you food, or thirsty and gave you something to drink? And when was it that we saw you a stranger and welcomed you...'
And the king will answer them, 'Truly I tell you, just as you did it to one of the least of these who are members of my family, you did it for me!'
Matthew 25:27-40 (adapted) |
Would you like to become involved with an easy global mission project? Come, you who are blessed... share comfort and show compassion in life as Christ did around the world. The Global Ministries Child Sponsorship Program is the place to get connected! This global children's ministry works closely with private centers that have long-established links with a UCC or Disciples global partner. Through partners, we work in collaboration with our agencies to provide food, basic health care, clothing and in some cases housing, school fees, uniform, books and training and livelihood opportunities to many poor and destitute children in Asia, Africa, the Caribbean, the Middle East and Europe. The Child Sponsorship program has been providing assistance for more than 40 years—one child at a time...
Currently, we have eleven centers participating with approximately 700 children in the program. Over the years more than 3,000 poor and low income children have been embraced by sponsors and their gifts.

The cost of sponsoring a child varies from center to center according to the services provided and the cost of living in that country. Sponsorship cost ranges from $25.00 to $30.00 monthly and we have several payment options available. And, there is no administrative fee! All donations collected goes directly to meet the child's need. We invite you to become part of the Child Sponsorship Family. Sponsoring an individual child or by making a special donation for a particular child sponsorship site is a wonderful way to become involved in global mission work.
New sponsors receive a brief biography and photo of an assigned child. You determine your personal financial commitment for the support of your child. We encourage sponsors to write to their children to learn more about him/her and their life. It is our hope you will receive at least two letters/reports per year from your child.
