Christmas Love…in the Spirit of Leonardo
The mainstay of Children of Promise is regularly providing food, health care, education, and spiritual nurture for desperately needy children. But we encourage sponsors to give extra for special occasions, birthdays, and Christmas—occasions every child anticipates!
Here’s a story of love I discovered on a recent trip to South America. Leonardo, one of our sponsored children, receives special gifts from a generous sponsor; but he doesn’t keep them. He has a profoundly handicapped sister-and he uses his special gifts to buy adult Depends for her to wear. His is a selfless act of love for his sister.
Isn’t this a great example of Christmas love?
Christmas and year-end are fast approaching. It’s time to think about extraordinary gifts. Would you consider a generous and significant year-end gift to Children of Promise in the spirit of Leonardo? Any gift is deeply appreciated.
We are growing—more children and ministry sites than ever! In order to respond to invitations and requests from countries we’ve yet to enter, will you make of gift of $_____, $500, or $1000? Again, every gift provides hope. Please give as you are able. You may use this link https://app.etapestry.com/hosted/ChildrenofPromise/OnlineGiving.html to give now. Or you can mail it to the address at the end of this posting.
Thank you for your consideration and response. Do you need information and ideas about non-cash gifts? Call me at 765-648-2114, or email cgw@echildrenofpromise.org. I am so blessed to serve with Children of Promise. Take a moment, and realize how blessed you are.
Thank you and God bless,

COP Sunday – 265 and Counting
Life has been infused with hope for at least 265 children since September 18th. This is the number of children sponsored so far through this year’s COP Sunday effort. Churches are still joining the effort. In fact, on Sunday, November 20, about 35 potential sponsors committed in Monroe City, Indiana, as the church observed COP Sunday. Your church can help children by simply contacting us and requesting materials, or by visiting our website at www.echildrenofpromise.org and clicking on the COP Sunday (HOPE) link on the front page.
Over 100 churches have participated so far this Fall. That includes churches in the U. S., the Cayman Islands, theDominican Republic, and Russia!
Thank you, churches, groups, families, and individuals for supporting this effort to help more children. Just think what it will mean in the lives of these children as they grow and mature. It is so simple to impact a life. Thank you for doing the simple, but significant thing: sponsoring a child. more...
