Think of the children in your life. Each one has a unique personality. Each one has talents and gifts. Each one has potential. But can you imagine what their lives would be like if they didn't have access to adequate nurture, nutrition and education? What would be lost?
We praise God that GFA World's Child Sponsorship Program, with the partnership of friends like you, is helping bridge the gap for kids in Africa and Asia whose potential and opportunities may have been otherwise lost. Many kids still wait to be sponsored, yet through our Unsponsored Children Fund, we can still welcome them into the program as we await more sponsors. Please join us in praying for these children—and all the children yet to join the sponsorship program.
It's always great when we have a new batch of unsponsored children because we just opened a new sponsorship center in a new community! It means children, families and an entire community will experience positive change as they receive practical help. We have the potential to bless so many more communities where children need care and nurture. We need the Lord to open doors in these communities and to clearly direct child sponsorship leaders to start new programs there.
Please pray the Lord will clearly direct our child sponsorship leaders and staff to the right communities at the right time. Ask Him to give favor with local officials and leaders.
The Unsponsored Children Fund helps local sponsorship projects to bring in more children even while awaiting sponsors, but local projects can bring in even more children—and start programs in new communities—when more sponsors are found. God knows the men and women who would be blessed to invest in a child's life!
Please ask God to link us with the men and women who would be blessed to be sponsors. Ask God to continue providing for sponsors and using them as vessels of His love.
Whether a child has a sponsor or not, each child in our child sponsorship program receives care and support from dedicated staff, along with benefits such as education and nutrition. Through it all, our prayer is that each child finds hope, security and joy in the abundant love of Christ—a love that can nourish, protect and support them as they grow up to become the men and women He created them to be.
Please pray that each child gains understanding of their worth and value in the sight of God. Ask Him to fill them with security in His love.
As our child sponsorship program shares knowledge and hope with children, these children often go home to share that same hope and knowledge with their families. Plus, our child sponsorship staff invest in students' families directly by visiting them and offering practical help, whether it's compassionate care, wise counsel, sincere prayers or useful education. And when families gain support that makes them stronger and healthier, their children grow up healthier and more supported, too. Sometimes, seeing the positive impact of child sponsorship on their kids' lives, parents end up leaving addictions behind or recognizing the value of education.
Please ask God to touch the hearts of each member of these children's families. Pray that His love will bring complete transformation that impacts parents and children alike.
At each regional office and at each local child sponsorship program, staff must determine how many children can join the program and in what ways they can effectively serve these kids and their families. In one region, it might be supplying relief to families after a disaster. In other regions, it might be opening a soccer program or providing medical assistance.
Please join us in asking God to give wisdom to child sponorship staff and regional leaders. Ask Him to open doors for them to serve families in ways that will reveal the Father's love.
