My name is Christina Nelson, my husband Kurt and I have been called to sponsor 2 wonderful boys in the village of Bubago. God calls us to help the less fortunate when we have been blessed through Him.
“And do not forget to do good and share with others, for with sacrifices, God is pleased” Hebrews 13:16
What a rewarding feeling it is to help a child receive an education and to meet the children you sponsor. What a blessing! The changes I saw in the boys from my first visit to the second visit were amazing. The change in their demeanor, confidence and their spirit! The most heartwarming was the smiles on their faces, just knowing that they will get the education they need to succeed in the future, All because you answered the call to help. It made my heart burst with joy!
Most of all I want to share this: it’s not just the child you are helping and supporting, it is the family. By saying yes to that call from God, you have lifted a portion of the financial burden of school fees from the family, by the investment you have made in their child. There are no words to describe the outpouring of gratitude from the family when I met them, it is simply overwhelming and fulfilling!
“Carry each other's burdens, and in this way, you will fulfill the law of Christ.” Galatians 6:2
