Mission Child Sponsorship Opportunities
The National Association of Congregational Churches, Philippines,
offers a child sponsorship program in areas reached by its church planting
ministry. Child sponsorship through the Caring
Community, the social action arm of the NACC, provides
for education and the basic needs of a child for
$245 annually. Sponsors will receive a photograph
and correspondence from their sponsored child.
The Asociacion Civil Cristiana
Congregacional (the Argentine Mission) has been able to provide medical care, food, and
educational assistance through its Child Sponsorship Program to
the poorest of children residing in shanties surrounding the mission.
For $40 per month or $480 annually _ churches, individuals, or
Sunday Schools may sponsor one child through this program. Upon
receipt of funds, the donor(s) will receive personal information about
the child they are sponsoring. Preference may be given for a boy or girl.
It is hoped that an ongoing relationship, overseen by the
missions, will develop between sponsors and
adopted children.
To sponsor a waiting child: Mail your monthly, quarterly, or annual payment, made payable to the NACCC, to:
Missionary Society, NACCC
PO Box 288
Oak Creek, WI 53154
Include a notation designating your gift for either NACC or
Argentine child sponsorship. Your donation will be forwarded to
the mission and their staff will contact you with information about
your sponsored child.
"Every dollar given for missions, goes to missions." |
