This week, we added 43 new child sponsorship profiles to the ChristAid website. As I read through each story while formatting and uploading them, my heart was overwhelmed. So many children with difficult circumstances, heartbreaking losses, and deep needs — yet each one precious, loved by God, and full of potential.
At first, I wished I could sponsor them all myself.
But then God reminded me of something powerful: I don’t have to carry this burden alone. I get the privilege of sharing these children with the Body of Christ and trusting Him to connect the right children with the right sponsors.
And He wasted no time.
Before we had sent a single email, posted on social media, or announced the new profiles in any way, a donor visited the site and sponsored FOUR of the new children for an entire year — committing to renew annually. Rose, Destiny, Patrick, and Chris were chosen within minutes of their profiles going live.
The donor, Mike K., hadn’t given to ChristAid for a few years. Yet God led him and his wife, Joy, back at exactly the right moment.
As we talked on the phone later, Mike shared memories of traveling to Uganda in 2008, helping level the soccer field below the Primary School with rented Caterpillar equipment. They called it “Gold Medal Field.” Years later, God is still using their family to impact lives in Uganda.
Moments like this are such a beautiful reminder: God knows every child by name. He knows exactly who they need. And He faithfully moves hearts at just the right time.
If you’ve ever wondered whether God might be leading you to sponsor a child, maybe this is your moment too. The newest child profiles are now live on our website, waiting for the people God already has in mind for them. ❤️
