Heritage Church exists to love one more to Jesus and encourage each other to grow.
We pride ourselves in being a church marked by generosity. We believe that by emulating the generosity demonstrated by God, we get to experience the blessing of His hand on our work serving His Kingdom.
Our passion to make a difference begins here, in the Brainerd Lakes Area, and extends to several locations regionally and throughout the world. That is why we are extremely excited to take our next step in exploring a partnership opportunity that God has opened up for us with OneChild.
OneChild is a ministry that works to bring hope, truth, life, love and mercy to more than 40,000 children living in poverty all over the world. They work with indigenous churches to help equip these children to meet their God-given potential by providing opportunities for transformational development: spiritually, physically, mentally and relationally.
OneChild shares our heart to facilitate relationships that strategically meet the needs of “the least of these” (Matt. 25:40). We know this is something God has called each of us to do!
The next phase of our partnership with OneChild is to offer a child sponsorship opportunity in Cambodia. We could not be more excited for this unique opportunity to grow our partnership with our missionaries in Cambodia, Dareth & Thida Ly, and develop a new partnership with OneChild. Those involved could also choose to be a part of our Cambodia missions team and even meet their sponsored child on our next trip to Cambodia in February of 2022.
I am challenging you to join my family in sponsoring one of the 75 children at A New Hope Center in Cambodia. As a church, I am hoping to meet our goal of sponsoring every child within the center. By sponsoring a child, you will be making a lasting impact on that boy or girl and their family by providing nutritional support, medical aid, educational assistance, and most importantly, an opportunity for these children to learn about God’s love for them.
I’m asking each of you to prayerfully consider what God would have you do, to love ONE MORE to Jesus through child sponsorship with OneChild. As we have experienced, together we can accomplish so much more than any of us could ever accomplish alone.
Let’s continue to impact the world together!

Children’s Best Hope: A Strong Church
Our vision for the church is global: The body of Christ growing, strong, united. If the church is strong in a poverty-stricken community, we know that we can effectively help the children living there. A strong local church partner is one of our prerequisites for ministry. And that ministry isn’t possible without the support of the church in the U.S.
We’re building a
community of hope.
OneChild sponsors provide encouragement, love and support to children living in poverty. And they empower an entire community of caring individuals who walk alongside those children as they grow. Through that community, sponsorship provides the resources and opportunities children need to rise above their circumstances and reach their potential in Christ. In fact, recent research demonstrates that child sponsorship is one of the most effective ways to combat global poverty. There’s real power in one person reaching out to one child through community—power that changes both lives!

A CHILD
OneChild sponsors empower the loving community that surrounds each child in our care. You can provide education, medical care, spiritual support, and hope to a child in desperate need.

We are accountable to the children we serve AND to our donors.
Our accountability to our donors is one of our highest priorities. Our goal is to use the funds entrusted to us as wise stewards. To do this requires continued monitoring of our fund distribution. OneChild is also a member in good standing with the Evangelical Council for Financial Accountability (ECFA)
