Leaving a Legacy of Hope | Sponsoring a Child

Posted by Keith Duff on

One evening I was talking with one of the Juna Amagara students who in in our equillivant of 9th grade.  His name is Isaac and he is an orphan.  Six years ago, Juna Amagara found a sponsor for Issac which allowed them to provide a home and education for him.  Isaac said that if it wasn’t for his sponsor and JAM, he would probably be a farm servant trying to earn enough money to survive.  He said he definitely wouldn’t be in school or having any hope of attending a university. He said he was so incredibly thankful for his sponsor who makes it possible for him to live at the JAM orphanage, to learn about God and to attend school.  He said his life has much hope because of that….

For less than $2 a day, you can literally save the life of an orphan child in Uganda. In a place where there is no working welfare system, where tens of thousands of children live in child-headed families, where they do hard, menial labor just to earn one meal a day, you can give a child hope. Look at these faces.  $50 with Juna Amagara covers the costs of providing an orphan a home, meals, health care and education.  (By comparison most child sponsorship programs do not provide housing or education, but rather focus on after-school and holiday Bible teaching programs along with health and nutrition services.)  If you can't afford $50, then consider sponsoring at their basic level of $35.

Above are the pictures of orphans who are awaiting sponsors. Maybe you will be the person God uses to provide them with a home and a quality education.  It sure is a great investment that bears many eternal returns.   If you have questions, please contact Pastor Keith (630-466-7198) for more information today.
