YOU'RE MAKING A LIFE-CHANGING DIFFERNCE

Thank you for playing such a critical role in your sponsored child’s successes this year. Together with hardworking families and communities, your love is nourishing children physically, emotionally, and spiritually, so they can build the future God intends for them.
  • Children learning and growing healthy: More girls and boys are learning in school with big dreams for the future. More children have a health center nearby with the equipment and supplies to provide the care they need.
  • Families with more resources to provide for their children and overcome poverty: Savings groups, farming training and resources and bee keeping projects are helping families to work together and build brighter futures.
  • Local people leading lasting change: Just like the children in this video, you’re supporting local leaders (big and small!) to create lasting change. Where poverty and injustice threaten children’s futures, you’re helping families and communities to stand strong and grow through every challenge. Thank you!

Please join us in prayer

Heavenly Father, I praise you for the way children in Burundi are learning and growing healthy. Thank you for schools, for bringing healthcare close to home, and opening doors for farming families to meet their children’s needs.

Lord, I pray for safe drinking water in children’s homes, schools, and communities. Please also provide computers for schools, so children can reach their God-given potential.

Thank you for using me in this journey, together with hardworking families and local leaders, to create lasting change. You have amazing plans for the children of Burundi. Thank you for the dreams you’ve placed in their hearts. I pray for their lives and futures. And I pray they would continue to feel your overflowing love. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
