Christ’s Care for Children: Kenya
Double your gift for a limited time
June 13, 2025 — Thanks to the generosity of a faithful donor, The Lutheran Church—Missouri Synod is excited to offer a special matching opportunity for new sponsors of LCMS’ first child sponsorship program, Christ’s Care for Children: Kenya. For a limited time, your sponsorship commitment will be matched, covering half the cost for the first two years.
This means you get to build a relationship with a vulnerable student in Kenya, praying for them, exchanging letters with them and watching them grow in their faith of Jesus Christ. Through your sponsorship, they will reside at one of our Project 24 facilities while attending school and church, receiving food, spacious shelter, an education and most importantly, spiritual guidance and Lutheran Catechesis.
Now is the perfect time to become a sponsor and help transform a life.
