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: Girls and boys have clean water to drink, and plenty of books and school supplies to help them reach for their dreams.
  • Families being empowered to raise healthy kids: Trained moms are teaching other moms about child health, nutrition, and hygiene so they can give their children a better start in life.
  • 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 Guatemala are learning and growing. Thank you for the clean water, books, and school supplies helping girls and boys reach their God-given potential. 

Lord, I pray for more school classrooms so children can learn safely and out of the sun. 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 futures. And I pray they would continue to feel your overflowing love. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
