Brian Sponsored by Aaron

Hey,
My name's Aaron and I sponsor Brian Kawami, a child that I met in Zambia, who was at the same camp as all these kids.
I can't tell you how cool Brian and his friend Kupanga were to me. He was really super out-going and very friendly and loved to joke.

When I got back, I decided to sponsor Brian. It has been a lot of fun. Its hard sometimes, being a college student to come up with the sponsorship fee every month. But knowing that money, no matter how hard it was to earn, is helping a kid go to school and get food and clothes makes every dollar spent worthwhile.

Every Orphan's Hope is very prompt in keeping in touch and responding to you're inquiries.
Overall its been a great experience, and I would completely recommend it to anyone who is considering it.
Its worth every penny to help these kids out.

Daliso & Maggie Sponsored by Emily

“How big is God’s love for you?!?”
“Bigger than the sky!!!!”
Each child’s arms flew open wide as they stretched upwards, reaching as if they were trying grasp the sky with their small dark hands. Then with an infectious enthusiasm they all ran towards me and simultaneously threw their arms around me encompassing me with their happy laughter. I looked down at all of the smiling faces that beamed up at me and I thought my heart would burst with the love I had for them….that’s exactly what happened…..

Hi,
My name is Emily, I’m a nursing student at Azusa Pacific University and I’m currently sponsoring two kids – Daliso and Maggie. I think you would be hard pressed to find two kids who are more beautiful! (OK, I’m slightly biased).
I’ve always been interested in sponsorship but it wasn’t until I went to Zambia this past summer that God really sparked a passion in me and I have become rather an advocate for child sponsorship. Seeing the life saving effects of sponsorship and listening first hand to the incredible stories of many orphans has made their plight an impossible one for me to forget.
As has been said before, yes, it certainly can be difficult to get the check in every month – especially since I have loans out for my college tuition – but it’s worth all of the small sacrifices because I know that this sponsorship is giving these kids an opportunity to live and to know the love of Christ as they never have before.

Lewis Sponsored by Beth

Lewis (10) - Lewis is a very quiet and often withdrawn young boy. He seems fearful at times and is wary when people approach him. But when he begins to trust people his hunger for love becomes evident and he soaks up words of encouragement and positive attention.

Beth -
I have chosen Lewis to sponsor through Every Orphans Hope! I am excited because I really want to become friends with him by writing letters and letting him know how much I care. I chose Lewis because he just seemed different. I thought, that boy needs a friend, a support, someone who is going to pray for him night and day. I am so happy that I can do that; that I have the ability to share my love of Christ to this boy. I have the ability to give a relatively small amount of money to change this boy's life. I chose Lewis because when I looked at him I saw how much he needed God's love and encouragement. I'm only 16 so at first I didn't think I could sponsor a child, but I believe Jesus moved in my heart to sponsor a child, and Lewis is that one! Pray for Lewis and all the other wonderful children who also need a sponsor and the love of Christ. GOD BLESS JABULANI AFRIKA AND ALL THE CHILDREN IN ZAMBIA!

Rama (Sponsored)

2008-02-14T19:49:00.001-08:00

Their laughter filled the air as the children danced excitedly, thrilled to teach us one of their own Zambian games! But as I jumped about with my group I realized that Rama, one of the quieter little girls was sitting off to the side. I walked over to her, knelt down, and reached my hand out to invite her to join in the game. As I held my hand out to her she began to cry. Our translator quickly ran over to find out why she was so upset. Rama shrunk away but began to speak slowly choking back sobs. She explained that she was afraid that I was going to beat her if she came with me. At her "home" each time some one called her or reached towards her it was only ever begin yelling at her or hitting her.
We took things slowly with Rama and expressed an extra gentleness each time she was near us. By the end of the camp Rama had learned what it meant when someone said, "I love you," and really meant it. She had changed so much as she experienced the love of Christ! Her tears had turned to laughter and her fears had turned to joy.
