How long am I expected to sponsor a child?
You determine your personal financial commitment to your child. Please contact the Child Sponsorship Office if you wish to cancel your sponsorship so we can identify another sponsor. No child is ever "dropped" or refused services.
How do I pay?
Please make your check or money order payable to Wider Church Ministries earmarked for the Global Ministries Child Sponsorship Program. Electronic payment options are available.
Will I receive receipts?
Each time you send in a payment, we will mail you a receipt for your tax records.
May I send my child gifts?
All our centers and the Child Sponsorship Office share the concern that special gifts for individual children may create distinctions and alienate other children who don't have sponsors.
We suggest:
(a) sending school supplies which can be used by many of the center's children;
(b) sending a modest gift such as a T-shirt or
(c) sending a financial gift for general use by the center to benefit all the children. Contact the Child Sponsorship Office to discuss how to send special gifts.
