Recent studies indicate that over 200 million children in developing countries under the age of five suffer from hunger, disease, and malnutrition. At least one-third of the world's children are touched by poverty. Everyday, nearly 35,000 of them die. Imagine how difficult it must be for a little child to live constantly in hunger and under threat of disease.
The One Child Fund ministry is designed to reach these children in the name of Jesus. Becoming a One Child Fund sponsor links you to children in one of our orphanage works around the world. You may choose an established orphanage in Haiti or India, or one of the developing orphanage ministries in other parts of the world. Many of the children who have grown up in our orphanages are now pastoring, evangelizing, and ministering the Word of God throughout the world. Therefore, the One Child Fund is not just an outreach about feeding and clothing orphaned and needy children, although these are extremely important in places where food and clothes are so scarce. It is also about expressing the love of Christ to people in desperate need of the Savior and raising up new leaders for the Harvest. These children are experiencing real hope for the future because of the Christ-like compassion of friends like you. Your participation in the One Child Fund will help provide needy children with improved health, nutrition, and educational opportunities. What better way to show the world that we are Christ's disciples than to take the blessings God has given us and pass them along to someone less fortunate?
