For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord.
Plans to prosper you and not to harm you,
plans to give you hope and a future.
Jeremiah 29:11
So Excited to announce the Hope and Future Sponsorship Program. This program will match sponsors with vulnerable children and students needing a little extra support in Ethiopia. We hope to have the program online soon, so that recurring monthly donations can be made online, and will be tax-deductible.
The five girls pictured above are the first in our program. These girls are all orphans who have aged out of the orphanage. They are near and dear to me, I have known them all personally for several years. I'm so happy to be able to help them in this way. Sponsorship for them will help to keep them in school and give them hope for the future.
The sponsorship program is divided into 3 categories.
