Djiouly wants to learn to read and write.
But in Haiti, the poorest country in the
Western Hemisphere, not every child
has the opportunity to receive an education. At One Mission Society, we offer
these children hope for the future through
child sponsorship. SHEEP (Southern
Haiti Evangelism and Education Program)
works directly with the Emmaus Fellowship
of Churches in the Port-au-Prince area to
come alongside these children and assist
with school fees. Not only does sponsorship provide a means of education, but
the children also learn the Good News of
Jesus at a Christian school through Bible
study, prayer, and worship.
As a child sponsor, you will receive a
photo and personal information about
your student. You have the opportunity
to pray for the child’s spiritual, physical,
social, and educational needs, as well as
encourage your child through correspondence. Proverbs 22:6 says, “Train up a
child in the way he should go; even when
he is old he will not depart from it.” Imagine giving Djiouly not only the education
she desires but also a chance to hear the
Good News of Jesus. Child sponsorship
is $25 monthly or $300 annually, which
covers the cost of tuition, books, and
supplies.
At OMS, we care deeply about the
children attending school at College
Mixte Evangelique de Gressier. Due to
lack of nutrition in this poverty-stricken
area, some children cannot focus on their
studies during the school day. To help
combat hunger, the children receive one
hot meal during the school day through
our feeding program. For approximately
49 cents a day, Djiouly can enjoy a plate
of rice and beans or a hot sandwich.
To partner with us and become a
child sponsor, simply contact our office
at [email protected] and request a sponsor child. We will assign you
a student and send a packet of information, along with a response tool for you
to use in submitting your gift. You will be
able to request the gender and grade level of the student if desired. You can also
begin your sponsorship online by visiting
the SHEEP giving page here.
Donations specified for the feeding
program can be made by mail or online,
using project #408188.
