Children Sponsorship Program: A Global Mission to Rescue the Vulnerable

The Children Sponsorship Program is at the heart of our mission to reach out to vulnerable children around the world, offering them not just the essentials of care but also the spiritual guidance that shapes their futures. With the partnership of local churches and the unyielding support of our sponsors, a profound difference has been made in the lives of children across various regions. Currently, the program supports over 400 children in diverse and challenging environments: Honduras (Langue and Tolupan), Asia, Ukraine, Kenya. Through financial support and prayer, our sponsors have turned hope into action. Your contributions have fostered environments where children get to know Jesus, develop a personal relationship with Him, and redefine their purpose in life.

Transformative Impact Across the Globe

In each region, our program has adapted to meet the unique needs of the children:

  • Honduras Langue: Marking seven years since our center’s establishment, we’ve seen our first group of children grow into youth. This transition has led to the start of a youth program dedicated to nurturing spiritual leaders.
  • Honduras Tolupan: Since 2021, the children's center has been a beacon of hope for 74 children, providing not just physical nourishment but spiritual guidance.
  • Asia: In partnership with local workers, our program continues to expand helping over 100 children and their families. We have witnessed more and more families welcome Jesus in their life. 
  • Ukraine: Amidst the Russo-Ukraine War, our partnership with a Ukrainian church has provided help and spiritual support to almost 100 children and their families.
  • Kenya: Partnering with a Christian organization, we've seen transformative changes in the lives of children at Mbooni and now, Kathonzweni Children’s Home. Many children express that they want to become pastors after growing up. 
Asia
In Asia, our four-year partnership with the local church has transformed over a hundred lives of families from despair to hope. Initially, we met children who had lost their parents or were abandoned, living without hope. Our local co-workers believe that the love of Jesus Christ can turn these situations around.

Abraham became part of the program in December 2020, initially weighed down by the loss of his mother and wary of the motives of co-workers trying to assist his family. Over time, immersed in consistent love and support, Abraham started to trust our co-workers. He now regularly attends church with our co-workers and has grown in his spiritual journey to the point where he confidently recites numerous scriptures and actively shares the gospel with others. Here is an account from our Asian coworker--
  " Abraham is a child enrolled in our Asian Children Sponsorship who has a miserable life experience. When he was just one year old, his mentally disabled mother got lost and was never heard from again. The next year, my father suffered a cerebral hemorrhage, leaving him disabled and struggling to raise Abraham by himself. Abraham's life was turned upside down when he joined our program at the age of eight.

When our co-workers visited Abraham for the first time, they were deeply touched by his helpless eyes and cold, hopeless expression. This was a child who lacked love, especially the love of Heavenly Father! Since then, many co-workers have taken turns to participate in caring for him: some gave him school supplies, toys, and clothes; some made good food at home and invited them to come and eat; some sewed his sweater; a child from Sunday School and his grandfather gave Abraham a ride to church every Sunday. Another co-worker makes a hot meal for him before sending him home… When co-workers invited Abraham to a Bible summer camp for the first time, he refused to go because he was afraid that the co-workers were traffickers and would trick and sell him! The second time, he couldn't wait to hold a co-worker’s hand and got into the car happily! During the two weeks at the summer camp, his face was always filled with a smile. He ate, lived, and studied with our co-workers and never wanted to return! Now Abraham can recite many scriptures and actively preaches the gospel!

Abraham’s father took the same path as him, refused, doubted, and resisted at the beginning, and now believes in the Lord! His face also began to have a long-lost smile and relaxation. Thank the Lord for saving the father and son, thank the Lord for His grace and faithfulness! "

儿童助养事工:拯救弱势群体的新希望全球事工

儿童助养事工是我们帮助世界各地弱势儿童的核心使命,不仅为他们提供基本的照顾,还为他们提供塑造未来的属灵指引。在当地教会的合作和助养人的不懈支持下,各地儿童的生活发生了深刻的变化。
目前,该计划共资助了 400多 名儿童他们生活在不同的挑战性环境中: 洪都拉斯(兰盖和托鲁盘)、亚洲、乌克兰和肯尼亚。
通过经济支持和祈祷,我们的助养人将希望转化为行动。您的捐款营造了良好的环境,让孩子们认识耶稣,与祂建立个人关系,并改变了他们的人生目标。

新希望全球事工带来的变革性影响

在每个地区,我们的项目都会根据儿童的独特需求进行调整:
  • 洪都拉斯兰盖 :在儿童中心建立七年之际,我们见证了第一批儿童成长为青少年。这一转变促使我们开始实施一项致力于培养青年领袖的计划。
  • 洪都拉斯托鲁盘:自2021 年以来,该儿童中心已成为 74 名儿童的希望灯塔,不仅提供物质营养,还提供属灵的指引。
  • 亚洲:我们与当地同工合作,不断扩大计划范围,帮助了100多名儿童及其家人的生活。我们见证了我们的主耶稣进入越来越多的家庭,给他们带来了希望和幸福。
  • 乌克兰:在俄乌战争中,我们和乌克兰教会合作为近百名儿童及其家人提供了帮助和精神支持。
  • 肯尼亚:通过与主办教会的合作,我们见证了 Mbooni 儿童之家以及现在的 Kathonzweni 儿童之家孩子们生活的巨大变化。很多孩子表示长大了要当传道人。

亚洲
在亚洲,我们与当地教会长达四年的合作使一百多个家庭从绝望走向希望。最初,我们遇到的是失去父母或被遗弃的孩子,他们的生活没有希望。我们当地的同工相信,来自耶稣基督的爱将改变这些局面。

Abraham于 2020 年 12 月参加亚洲儿童助养计划。起初,他因失去母亲而感到内心沉重,并对帮助他家庭的同工心存疑虑。随着时间的推移,Abraham因着持续的爱和支持,逐渐对同工萌生了信任。现在,他经常和我们的同工一起去教会,在属灵的道路上不断成长。他已经能够熟练地背诵许多经文,并积极地与他人分享福音。以下是我们亚洲同工的信:
“ Abraham 是我们亚洲儿童救助项目里的一位同学,身世凄惨。他刚刚一岁时,智力有残疾的母亲不幸走失,再无音讯。第二年,父亲突发脑溢血,留下残障,独立艰难抚养孩子。Abraham 八岁时加入了我们的救助项目,从此生命发生了翻转。
国内同工初次探访Abraham时,被他那双无助的眼神和冰冷孤独的表情深深触痛,这是一个缺失爱,尤其是缺少天父爱的孩子!自此,许多的同工轮流加入了关怀他的服事:有人送给他学习用品,玩具和衣物;有人家里做了好菜就接父子俩去吃饭;有人给他缝补毛衣;有一个主日学的小朋友每周日跟着爷爷开车接有才去教会,另一位同工每次主日学结束后带他去自己家里吃一顿热乎乎的饭菜,之后再送他回家。。。第一次同工邀请Abraham去参加圣经夏令营时,他说不去,怕同工们是人贩子,要骗他去外地把他卖了!第二次他已经迫不及待拉着同工阿姨的手欢天喜地地坐上了车!在夏令营两周的聚会中,他的脸上始终洋溢着喜乐的笑容,跟着同工们同吃同住同学习,乐不思返!现在的Abraham可以背诵许多经文,还会积极传福音呢!”
