Orchard Hill has a partnership with Food for the Hungry in the Gorongosa region of Mozambique. Over the past eight years, several friendships have developed between Food for the Hungry staff and Orchard friends, between Orchard friends and some of their sponsored children.
Food for the Hungry is a Christian development organization, and one of its development strategies is the child sponsorship program. OHC celebrates the 250 child sponsorships through our congregation, and we are seeking the goal of 100 more. Child sponsorship provides a strong financial base for a community as it seeks sustainable solutions for food security, education, clean water, health care, and more. It also allows FH staff to share the Good News of Jesus Christ and to grow up disciples who will plant churches and spread the Gospel.
Prayerfully consider child sponsorship in your household. It is a powerful way to link arms and make a difference. You can head to the events desk at OHC the next two Sundays to learn more about how to sponsor a child through Food for the Hungry!
(Ann Voscamp has a beautiful blog post related to child sponsorhip. This past summer, she and her daughter met their sponsored child in Africa. You can read it here.)
