 Connect with the World through a Child

Child Sponsorship
The Global Ministries Child Sponsorship Program is the place to get connected! You, your Sunday School Class, Youth Group, and congregation can participate in sponsoring a child from one of the Global Ministries partner centers. 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.
