sponsoring a child
From taking on her mom’s sponsored children when her mom passed away to sponsoring more kids in Kenya and providing scholarships, a sponsor from Texas shares her sponsorship journey and her motivation to keep her childhood dream alive through her daughter.
“When we as supporters support a child, we help those without dreams to have a chance to dream, we plant a seed of hope in their hearts, and then we let God do His part in transforming them.”
Karol Dereal, Sponsor in Texas
Yosari, who was sponsored as a child in Honduras, is now living out her dream with the help of her sponsor’s encouragement to make goals and have hope for the future.
“[Sponsorship] changed my life and the way I viewed my life and my relationship with God. My sponsor taught me that if I walk with Jesus, if Jesus was in my life as my center, that I shouldn’t fear, that I could keep going, that I could do everything with Jesus.”
Yosari, OneChild Graduate in Honduras.
During a visit to meet her sponsored child in the Dominican Republic, a sponsor sees firsthand how her hope, love, and support are making an eternal difference in that child’s life.
“If you are thinking about sponsoring a child, I would say, 'Please don’t miss out on this blessing!' God calls each one of us to serve and bless his people. Such a small gift with great reward.
Kelly, Sponsor
A simple gift from his sponsor seven years ago transformed the lives of a boy and his entire family living in poverty in Kenya and opened the door to a future in cattle farming they had never dreamed was possible.
“I never have to worry about staying in school because the constant worry about my father paying my school fees is a thing of the past. I am also happy that not only am I benefiting from the gift, but my family is also significantly benefiting. The family gift we received has gone beyond calming our worries to making us hopeful for the future.”
