The Good News of Jesus Christ is the greatest gift ever given to mankind, and it’s the best gift you can give your sponsored child.
But you may be wondering where to begin.
Thankfully, there are so many ways to share the Good News with your sponsored child, even if they live somewhere closed to the Gospel.
Keep reading to learn how you can share Jesus with your sponsored child:
1. Share Bible verses about the Gospel
Sharing God’s Word with your sponsored child can transform their life!
The very essence of the Gospel is found in the Bible. God’s Word is the story of Jesus and His gift to us, and every word of Scripture carries power.
One of the best ways to share the Gospel with your sponsored child is to share Scripture with them. Passages like John 3:16, Romans 3:23-24, and 1 Corinthians 15:3-4 clearly describe the Gospel and how it impacts us.
As you share these verses with your sponsored child, make sure to explain them clearly so they understand what the Gospel is and what it means for them. When they read God’s Word, they will learn more about His love and truth.
2. Share your personal experiences
Your life can be a reflection of Christ’s love for your sponsored child
Another way to share the Gospel with your sponsored child is to talk about your own experience with Jesus! Sharing your own salvation story or things God has done in your life can encourage your sponsored child to learn more about Him.
Our testimonies are powerful, and our lives should be a reflection of Christ. As you share more about yourself and your relationship with Jesus, your sponsored child will get a real picture of how Jesus transforms hearts!
3. Get creative
Finding creative ways to share the Gospel can be a fun project for the whole family!
Your sponsored child treasures every gift you send them. That’s why finding creative ways to share the Gospel can make a big impact!
You can send colorful photos or drawings illustrating the Gospel, share songs or poems, or design a Bible verse card they can carry wherever they go. You can even gift them short picture books or devotionals.
When it comes to creatively sharing the Good News, the possibilities are endless!
4. Pray for your sponsored child
Make sure to include your sponsored child in your daily prayers!
Prayer is one of the most effective ways you can transform your sponsored child’s life. Whether they live in a country that’s closed to the Gospel or not, always important to pray that they experience the love of Jesus.
If you’re able to, ask your sponsored child how you can pray for them. Even telling them that you’re keeping them in your prayers will be a great encouragement and a precious demonstration of God’s love.
5. Lead by example
Showing kindness and compassion to your sponsored child helps them experience God’s love
2 Corinthians 5:20 instructs Christians to be “ambassadors of Christ” — representatives of God and His kingdom here on Earth. When you’re an example of Jesus for your sponsored child, your actions point back to Him.
In fact, children often first interact with the Gospel through the love of those around them. Encourage your sponsored child with consistent letters and interactions. Show genuine interest in their life, family, and dreams.
Finally, your words are powerful. Demonstrate the love of Christ through words of encouragement, kindness, love, and truth.
When you share the love of Jesus with your sponsored child, it can transform their entire lives. Your words and prayers will be a precious demonstration of God’s love.
Even if your sponsored child lives in a sensitive country and you can’t openly share the Gospel with them, they will get the opportunity to learn about Jesus in their program. But your prayers and kind words are still important in pointing them to God and His truth.
