• Child Sponsorship opportunities
The Mission in Mombasa Committee has set as its goal the sponsorship of all the children living in our mission-partner facilities – The Onesimus Boys’ Centre and the Dickson Children’s Centre – in Mombasa, Kenya. The good news is that our first sponsorship drive netted 12 sponsors. The further good news is that 38 more lucky families or individuals still have the opportunity to provide a child a hope and a future. For $35 a month, these children receive safe, clean housing, food, clothing, schooling and a caring Christian environment. The MiM Committee will staff an information table in the Burrows Commons on two Sundays in July, July 12 and 19. Please stop by to learn more about how you can be a part of this important and rewarding effort.
