The Children were very happy to have us visit them
The church with a heart for children is also a church with a heart for missions and a heart of compassion. Together, they explain why about seventy families, individuals and ministries in our church each give $20.00 per month to sponsor one of the children you see here.
The children loved Kelly and all the team. Pastor James is praying for someone in the background

These children are either orphans or have a parent who is absolutely financially destitute and cannot provide for his/her child.
There is a waiting list of children to be sponsored.
