THE FELLOWSHIP CHILD SPONSORSHIP PROGRAM<br />
Is God asking you to make a difference in the lives of children who need care and hope? The Fellowship Child Sponsorship Program might<br />
be for you. Through Fellowship missionaries working in one of five areas of ministry—Casa Hogar (Honduras), Cedar Home (Lebanon),<br />
Clementia Life Centre (Lebanon), Love Trust (Sri Lanka), and Joy Foundation (Dominican Replublic)—churches and individuals have<br />
the opportunity to minister to needy children, sharing with them the life-giving hope of the Gospel while rescuing them from poverty.<br />
