...'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. Currently, we have 15 centers participating with approximately 900
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 Child Sponsorship
program has been providing assistance for more than 40 years—one child
at a time!

With Eyes to See For the past 13 years our family, through the Global Ministries Sponsorship program, has sponsored a child at the Family Village Farm, in Tamil Nadu, India. Her name is Saranya. Alongside our two sons, Christopher and Daniel, we have considered her part of the family. A photo of her has been posted on our frig for years. We have exchanged letters. We have noted with joy each of her accomplishments in her school. Never did we imagine that we would ever have the opportunity to see her in person. Read the entire story, or find out about other Child Sponsorship Opportunities.

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.
