As we strive to care for the orphans and widows of Mozambique we desire to both set an example for others and then empower them to continue on in this ministry. Currently we have two seperate orphan programs reaching approximately 800 orphans throughout Mozambique. Many of these orphans we are only able to assist on an extremely limited basis. We hope you will commit to partnering with us as we further develop these ministries.
AMIGO ORPHAN PROGRAM
Our Amigo orphan sponsorship enables a donor to be matched with one of the needy orphans in our immediate area. These orphans usually live with a widowed grandmother, who does not have the ability to support herself and dependent grandchildren. Sponsorship means these children receive food each month, as well as ensuring they receive an education. Donors receive a photo of the orphan they are sponsoring, a profile as well as updates.
AMOR ORPHAN PROGRAM
One of the foundations of our ministry is training and equipping churches and pastors to better understand and serve God. The Biblical training that they receive includes teaching them to care for the needy, and the orphans and widows of their communities. Many of these pastors, taking to heart all they have learned, have since created orphan outreach programs with their churches in their communities. When we first challenged these pastors to begin orphan programs we tried to commit to matching everything they raised dollar for dollar. The response was so great, we now can only match as little as 10% of what these pastors have raised. We are looking for churches, or individuals who would commit to sponsoring a local pastor and his church on a monthly basis. This support would go both to furthering the pastors training through our Bible school as well as to provide much needed resources, supplies, food, and emergency aid to these pastors and the orphans they care for. Sponsors recieve yearly updates on the program they are involved with as well as the pastor leading the program.
