The value of a season is rarely seen within that particular season. Rather it takes an ending point, a moment of victory, to emphasize the significance of that particular season. So it is with sponsorship. We often take it for granted until a moment of revelation. We can all agree that sponsorship is a blessing, and the joy that it brings far outweighs the loss of anything it may cost us. But the enormous impact it makes, the life-changing power, and the incredible implications of sponsorships are sometimes hard to see until, well, something like a graduation happens.
This last week, we had the tremendous opportunity to attend two graduations at Kyambogo University. Halima and Barbara are two sweet girls who have been a part of Agape Childrens Village’s sponsorship program for many years. Rather than just helping them to survive, the program provided the preparation, support, and financial ability to attend university as thriving adults.
Sponsorship is not merely a way to maintain existence, but to give children a chance of a successful life that is based on the godly spiritual foundation of their sponsorship program. We rejoice as we see the fruit of all the little things that added to the rich soil of these two girls’ lives, and we are encouraged to know that the blessings of a sacrificial sponsorship reach far deeper than a mere donation. All the glory goes to the Lord as we watch these girls about to embark on a new adventure!
