THE MISSION
THE SPONSORSHIP PROGRAM
Transform Nations, One Child At A Time
Your donation of $30 a month directly contributes to the care of our children’s needs. We recognize the impact of extended community in the children’s lives and encourage you to send birthday gifts and periodic letters! Those acts of kindness remind the children that they are loved and that someone is praying specifically for them. By joining our sponsorship program you will also receive a monthly newsletter and periodic updates on your child. The Sponsorship Program includes children that are part of our ministry in Mexico, Romania and Nicaragua. That includes orphan care, after school programs, feeding programs, elementary school, as well as jr high and high school.
Due to guidelines issued by the Mexican government, we are legally unable to share photos or personal details of the children in our orphanage in Mexico, online or in print material. Although these guidelines only affect some of our children, of the over 500 that we provide care for, that is why some of the children’s photos are blurred.
Top 5 sponsorship faqs
Does my $30 go directly to my sponsored child?
Your monthly donations go into a general child fund that will benefit your child as well as aid in caring for other children that do not have sponsors yet. All sponsorship contributions do go directly into that fund and not into any other area of the ministry. Learn more about The Mission’s financial transparency in our Annual Report.
Do I have to write them letters or send gifts?
No, that is up to you! Some sponsors love the personal connection and some prefer to not do that.
Am I the only one that sponsors this child?
No. Depending on what programs the child is involved with the cost to care for each child varies. For example, the care we provide for the children in our orphanage than for those who are in our feeding program. For that reason, some children do have multiple sponsors per child because we do need more than $30 a month to care for their needs.
At what age do children “age out” of The Sponsorship Program?
Once a child turns 18, they are given the option to move into our on-campus transition home. They are given the option to attend our School of Missions or continue on their education at a university. Children remain in The Sponsorship Program until they choose to move out of the transition home.
Are all of these children in the orphanage?
No. Our sponsorship program serves the children in all of our programs located in Mexico, Nicaragua and Romania. That includes orphan care, after school programs, feeding programs, elementary school, as well as jr high and high school.

breakdown of operational expenses
From the very beginning, we have relied on His faithfulness and the help of like-minded people. The Mission is unique in the sense that all of our operations teams are located on The Mission bases; we have no U.S. administrative headquarters. It has been a privilege to work alongside missionaries who have left their homes to serve, as well as nationals who are fiercely fighting for their own nations.
