get involved.

what's that you say? 

you wish you could be more involved with what God is doing here in South Africa? i thought you might say that! well, here is your chance.  James 1:27 says, "Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress..." the Bible makes special mention of our responsibility to care for the orphans of this world. of course not everyone can pack their bags and move to SA to work with Bridges of Hope, nor can everyone make it out on a short term team. but there is another way you can be involved in the lives of these orphans and vulnerable children... 

Bridges of Hope Academy has 7 new students in need of sponsors. these tiny new 6th and 7th graders are the beloved new addition to our school. not only are theyso cute that you want to pinch their little cheeks all day long, but they are so hungry for this opportunity: the education, the discipleship, the safety and provision offered. however, they need your help. each child needs a sponsor. please think and pray about supporting one (or more!) of these kids. these children have names and faces and personalities and stories. God could use you to play an integral role in their lives. i know the economy is rough right now and everyone is worried about finances. but in times of want or in times of plenty we are to fix our eyes on things of eternal value and trust Jesus with our lives and our wallets. if you feel led to sponsor one of these amazing children, please contact me and i can get you plugged in or contact Susan Wadley directly at SusanW@BridgesWorldwide.org for more information. above all, keep all of our students in your prayers so that they might grow in faith and love and change their world for the Gospel. 

"This most generous God who gives seed to the farmer that becomes bread for your meals is more than extravagant with you. He gives you something you can then give away, which grows into full-formed lives, robust in God, wealthy in every way, so that you can be generous in every way, producing with us great praise to God." 2 Corinthians 9:10-11 (Msg)
