World Vision "Sponsor a Child" initiative
Thursday, July 16, 2009
Dear all,
Some of you may have heard of this organisation called World Vision. It is a Christian relief, development and advocacy organization dedicated to working with children, families and communities to overcome poverty and injustice. They have this initiative called "Sponsor a Child" whereby donor can choose to sponsor a child from third world countries. The donation goes toward his/her school fees, daily meals and other basic necessities. All these children come from very humble backgrounds and many of them are orphaned as a results of their parents dying from AIDS.
I thought as a congregation (at least the youths), we can make a difference to these people. Let say if everybody is interested, each person only needs to contribute a dollar per month. If enough people are interested, we can sponsor one of them and share God's blessings with this stranger. The sponsored child will write to the sponsor/s on a regular basis to update his/her situation. Look for me this Sunday if you are keen and I will elaborate on the details. You can also browse their website to learn how it works.
Nonetheless please do not feel obliged to participate! It is free and easy but once you've made the commitment, stick to it.
Matthew 25: 35-36: " For I was an hungered, and ye gave me meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink: I was a stranger, and ye took me in:Naked, and ye clothed me; I was sick, and ye visited me; I was in prison, and ye came unto me. "
