CELEBRATE 2024 WITH US!
Happy New Year! As our team reflects on 2024, our hearts overflow with gratitude. We often talk about what a privilege it is to be part of Children of Promise. Having a front row seat to the profound impact that your love and generosity has in the daily lives and futures of individual children around the world is not something that we take for granted. Your deep love for God, His Kingdom, children around the world, and the ministry of Children of Promise accomplished so much good this year! Celebrate with us!
In 2024, 643 new children started their sponsorship journey! Not only are each of these children now receiving monthly support in the areas of nutrition, education, healthcare, and discipleship, but their families, churches, and communities are impacted with the hope of a different future. Thank you!
The impact of the Gap Fund has continued to grow, and OVER 1,000 children were impacted as a result of your generosity this year! Gifts to the Gap Fund made it possible for us to extend sponsorship benefits to more children who were waiting to be matched with their long term sponsor, fill the gap for those children who lost their sponsor, and issue scholarship for graduates for their post secondary education! Thank you!
We are celebrating 366 sponsored children who graduated from high school in 2024! We are grateful for sponsors who made it possible for these young people to enter adulthood with an education. Many times, sponsored children are the first in their family to complete high school. Sponsorship changes the trajectory of an entire family.
Over $36,000 in scholarship funds were awarded to 61 Children of Promise graduates who are pursuing education beyond high school, and 11 CofP students graduated from college! Thank you!
THE POWER OF PRESENCE
2024 was another year of intense travel for our team. We logged over 295,000 miles because we believe in the power of presence. Presence with the kids, presence with the directors and volunteers, and presence with YOU!
Your investment in Children of Promise made it possible for us to visit 15 countries and be present with over 600 sponsored children this year. These visits are vital to our model. Spending time with sponsored children provides a relational way for us to ensure that they are receiving their sponsorship benefits and evaluate the effectiveness of the programs.
In 2024, we had 56 people join us on these site visits so they could have first-hand experience of the impact that our locally shaped, globally supported model has on changing the trajectory of a child’s life. We’d love for you to join us on one of our international trips in 2025. Visit www.childrenofpromise.global/trips and let us know where you’d like to go!
Your generosity also made it possible for us to host the Global Learning Forum (GLF) in Costa Rica in June 2024. We were able to be present with 21 CofP leaders from 13 countries across the Caribbean, Central, and South America. It was a powerful time of prayer, encouragement, and leadership training. In July 2025, we’ll return to Africa to host the next GLF in Ghana, West Africa. Thank you!
In 2024 we visited 33 churches and were able to be present with many sponsors and donors. We want to see YOU in 2025! Visiting churches in person remainsthe most effective way for us to tell the story of sponsorship, find new sponsors, and help us advance the work of CofP. Contact Kyle to get on our team’s speaking calendar. You can reach him at KHayes@childrenofpromise.global.
It is a joy and an honor to partner with you and the Lord
through the ministry of Children of
Promise. Happy New Year!
