Sponsorship often begins as a monthly gift—a way to help a child with school, food, and care. But what starts as support on paper often grows into something so much deeper.
Through letters, encouragement, and prayer, sponsors and children become part of each other’s lives—celebrating birthdays, sharing family
Some people want to make a difference—but don’t know where to start. Here’s a short video from Nick, a summer missions team volunteer, sharing about his experience in Romania.
As I reflect on my time in Romania, one conversation stands out as both the hardest and most meaningful moment of the trip. During a week of church youth camp with Bethel Baptist Church and the kids from House of Hope, we spent our days full of energy—playing games, doing activities, and learning about Jonah and Jesus.

It was at that training seminar that we found a special bond, and they had been so grateful for the scholarships provided to cover their housing and meals. They asked me to please come and visit them, and the next year we made that trip and our relationship has been growing and strengthening ever since.
