This Christmas, you can make a difference in the life of a child

12.01.2014

This Christmas, help us care for vulnerable children around the world. When you give to the Children-at-Risk fund, you help children in Costa Rica, Ecuador, Ghana, India, Nicaragua, and Thailand experience the love of Christ.

The Children-at-Risk fund supports the projects of several Mission Society missionaries who are making a difference in the lives of vulnerable children.

You can provide a “birthday party for Jesus” for children in Costa Rica. Bryan and Beth Tatum coordinate the events. These children are treated to a party, a meal, and receive a Christmas gift of their own to keep.

In Thailand, 90 percent of the children who are trafficked, primarily for the global sex trade, are from the Essan region. Mission Society missionaries working in Essan (including the Barbee and Attaway families) are raising funds to establish a shelter for vulnerable children in this area.

You can provide school supplies for impoverished children in Mira Luz, Nicaragua. Ronnie and Angi Hopkins minister in Mira Luz and are gathering school supplies for the 100 children in this village, whose parents cannot afford basic items.

In one community in Ecuador, young people tend to leave the church around age 14. Missionaries Tim and Daina Datwyler have helped to start a music group (that will become the worship team) to inspire kids to stay connected with the church. The church’s teenagers have a plan to raise money for musical instruments through bake sales. Your contribution will help them purchase an oven.

You can provide blankets for children and families in northern India this winter. Winter brings severely cold weather to the people of northern India. Many families have only one blanket to share among all of their children and, unfortunately, many families do not have a blanket at all. Help Peter and Esther Pereira provide blankets and share the story of Jesus with families in remote villages.

In Ghana, provide a Hepatitis B vaccine for a child. Affecting one in five children, Hepatitis B can be prevented for a lifetime with one vaccine. Dave and Ellen Bartlett are working with a primary school to vaccinate every child.
