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: Water purification systems mean more girls and boys have clean water to drink, and books and school supplies are helping them reach for their dreams.
  • Families with more resources to provide for their children and overcome poverty: Through savings groups and small business training and support, families are building brighter futures. Parenting workshops are equipping moms and dads to create more loving, nurturing homes.
  • 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 the Dominican Republic are learning and growing healthy. Thank you for the clean water, books, and school supplies helping girls and boys reach for their dreams.

Lord, I pray for more schools in local communities, so children don’t have to move away to study. Please continue to strengthen their families and bless their homes and schools.

Thank you for using me in this journey, together with hardworking families and local leaders, to create lasting change. You have amazing plans and purposes for each and every girl and boy. I pray for their lives and futures. And I pray they would continue to feel your overflowing love. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
