Yan is a sweet boy who loves to be around his friends and family. Yan loves wrestling and other sports. He works hard in school and especially enjoys his physical education class. When he grows up, Yan hopes to become a coach, so he can share his passion for sports with others.
Yan’s parents work in full-time ministry, and his father also works as a welder to get by. Yan’s older brother has cerebral palsy, and his condition puts a heavy financial burden on the already struggling family. Often, Yan’s parents can’t afford basic necessities for their three children. Through sponsorship, Yan will receive things like school supplies and clothing.

Continue giving monthly or annually to meet your child's needs and write letters to stay in touch
Why sponsor a child?
“Child sponsorship is very rewarding because you know you're making a difference for that child. But the blessing you will receive far surpasses even the difference you make in the children's lives. You will see God at work!”
— Lita, Kentucky
“Sponsoring two little girls from Guatemala has changed the way I see life. As Christ-followers, we are called to love God and love others. I believe that we love God through loving others, and child sponsorship gives us the opportunity to do that.”
— Kayla, Virginia
“I believe child sponsorship is a way to touch the future. It's important to invest in the next generation, both here and around the world.”
— Margaret, California
