Sponsors Stand in Faithfulness

As we continue to endure this season of separation, we see God clearly at work through many of you! Our sponsors and donors are standing firm in faithfulness in their giving, and it has resulted in keeping the ministry stable during these uncertain times. Some of you had even stepped forward to give extra for food for the students' families who are homebound in the slums, and others who are doing well at this time have intentionally given more to make up for others who are not able to give.

One long time Buyamba sponsor, Jason Fielder, explained, "My wife and I are both teachers and blessed to have a job right now, and we can give more as others maybe can't right now, so just give us another child to sponsor!"

We have heard great stories from talking to our sponsors during this time. Long term sponsors whose sponsored children have graduated from Primary School to High School or graduated from the university have reported the long-term blessing of sponsoring their particular child. As Kelli Green recently explained, "We're so proud of Juma. It's been so rewarding to watch him grow. We still have all the pics and letters he's sent us. That very first pic we saw when we sponsored him when he was five years old still breaks my heart."

Bill and Debbie Lees asked for a new younger child to sponsor after their current child graduated from college. They said they have been so blessed being involved in the process, "We kept every letter, report card, and picture of Deborah ever sent, and now we have completed that journey with her and she is empowered to go into her new stage of life."
