Him, we can do nothing. Praying is the most important thing you can
do for this
effort. Please pray that He may lead and provide, so that homeless
Malagasy children
can become Jesus Kids.
You
can sponsor a child.
For
$75.00 a month you can help feed, clothe, educate a child and
provide for the medical needs of that child. We would
like to
encourage you, your church group or your congregation to sponsor a
child. We will
help
you get to know your child. You will receive progress
reports via correspondence.
You
will also receive pictures of your child from time to
time.
If
you do not want to sponsor a child for $75.00 a month you can also
sponsor a child for $25.00 a month or $50.00 a month. Some
of our children have three different sponsors that each contribute
$25.00 a month. Just send us an e-mail message or postal
message concerning your desire to sponsor and we will provide you
with information on a child/children in need of sponsors.
You
can make a donation.
