What is child sponsorship?

Child sponsorship is to provide a child with the necessities of life such as education, clean water, food, and clothing.

What challenges are the Faith Children’s Home Orphanage facing today?

Right now, our orphanage does not have enough resources to buy our children nutritious food to keep them healthy.

What’s worse, our resources are limited because we are experiencing discrimination, inequality, and abuse from the society resulting from the Caste system, and persecution of Christians.

The Indian Caste System

Caste System divides Hindus into four main categories:

   Brahmans - religious roles like a priest

   Kshatriyas - warriors

   Vaishyas -  merchants

   Shudras - the great bulk of the Indian population

   Untouchables - the descendants of slaves or prisoners who do all the degrading work

The division between the castes in India greatly affects poverty because lower caste members are very ill-treated and they are not even allowed to come to public places. 

Aside from that, lower caste members cannot rise up the ladder and so they remain poor. Apart from that, many people are unwilling to help the orphanage due to discrimination because the orphanage is being run by a Christian pastor.

What is the impact of sponsoring an orphan?

You will give them the hope to survive and to strive in reaching their dreams despite the hardship they are experiencing.

Imagine, witnessing them grow physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually, and reach their potential despite the challenges they’re facing in India.

Just by letting them know that you care, you can make a big difference.

How can you help in changing their lives?

Your monthly love gift will ensure that their basic needs are provided for until they complete 10th grade. 

This will greatly help the orphanage to support each child to buy food and other basic needs like clean water, clothes, and education.

Frequently Asked Questions

 How does Sponsor a Child work?

Our Child Sponsorship Program will impact their future by providing them with what they need like healthy food, clean water, clothing, shelter, and education.

 How can I be sure that my money gets to those in need?

Faith in Training Ministries manages all sponsorships and transfers the money to our ministry leaders in India each month. Monthly reports are sent from India to our Headquarters in St. Louis, MO. Also, Bishop Stephen Ray has been traveling to India every couple years to supervise and hold our ministry leaders accountable. 

 How much does sponsoring a child cost?

You can choose between $25, $50, and $100 to sponsor a child.

 What’s involved as a child sponsor? 

-   You can send monthly letters to your sponsored child.
-   You may also schedule a video call with your sponsored child.
-   Aside from that, you can send a small gift with our Missions Team when they travel to India.
-   You can also apply to go on our missions trip with us.

 Will I get to know my sponsored child? 

Yes, you can communicate each month through letter and/or video call. Our ministry leaders will translate for you.

We will also send you a monthly newsletter about the child's progress, and you can also write letters to each other to get to know the child.

 How long does sponsorship last? 

Sponsorship can last until the child graduates in the 10th grade.

 Can I write and send presents to the child?

We discourage sending presents directly to India because we have experienced theft from mail carriers. To help, we can send money to our orphanage and describe what it's for, and the team in India will purchase the item for them there. That way, we can save money and avoid hassles. You can also send a small gift in our luggage when we travel on our missions trip.

 I want to help, but do I have to choose a child?

You can choose a child or send the money for general funds.

 How long will it take for my payments to show online?

Usually within 2-3 days.

How The Orphanage Was Found

In India, 2004, there was a great Tsunami that caused many deaths. 

Many children were left abandoned after their parents passed away.

Pastor David Kumar, Ministry Director, asked Bishop Stephen Ray if they could start an orphanage to help the children. 

Bishop Ray agreed and they started Mr. and Mrs. Stephen Ray Orphan home. 

As years went by, the Holy Spirit spoke to Bishop Ray to change the name of our India Ministry to Freedom of Faith Ministries for our churches. This is why, Pastor David chose to use the name Faith Children’s Home for the Orphanage.

Later, other pastors who worked with Pastor David brought more orphans who needed their assistance. 

With limited resources, they gave shelter and fed the children with a heart of compassion.
