As a Mission of Mercy Child Sponsor Volunteer, I have personally seen how a sponsor's money is directly used in the life of a child, their family and their community. By being a sponsor of a child, your money truly makes a wonderful impact on a child's total life.

Mission of Mercy sets up schools in regions of poverty throughout the world - so far, 19 different countries across the globe! Schools that teach each child an income-generating skill, communication skills, personal hygiene education, as well as other classes designed to help each child become well-rounded and informed about their selves, their communities and the world at large. Many students learn English as a second language too.

Every Mission of Mercy school is tied in with a local church and pastor to help teach these precious children about Jesus Christ. Every child is given the opportunity to Accept Jesus Christ as their personal savior, and will continue to have the support in their growth with their individual walks with Christ today, and, as they grow older. Sponsorship money also goes toward annual health check-ups and physicals for each child and provides them with a healthy meal daily.

Sponsoring a child also blesses the sponsor family too... There's nothing like the feeling of knowing that a little bit of your time and money is making a huge difference for the life of a child living in abject poverty. Having visited a few Mission of Mercy projects in Dominican Republic this past summer; I can honestly tell you there is a stark difference in communities that have a Mission of Mercy School and communities that don't. Truly, LITTLE IS MUCH.

Please consider sponsoring a child. Perhaps you and a friend could share a sponsorship. Your Sunday school class, or a group you're in or your workplace... there's literally dozens of way you can sponsor a child. I'd love to tell you how. If you're interested - please contact me... Facebook me, email me or comment on this post that you would like to know more.

Most definitely, ONE CHILD MATTERS.
