Lindon is a cheerful young boy who enjoys playing soccer with his friends. He is creative and curious and often reads adventure stories in school, and he likes to help his parents around the house by fetching water. Someday, he hopes he can help teach others by becoming a teacher. Lindon is all too familiar with poverty. His parents both look for daily labor in their village but frequently do not make enough money to provide for the family?s basic needs. Through sponsorship, Lindon will now have access to things like nutritious meals, durable clothing, basic medical care, and a continuing education.

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
