If you ever wonder if sponsoring a child in another country really makes a difference, read on....
This is Lovely Mae, one of our sponsored scholars. We are very proud of her. She grew up in a very poor home and thought she would not be able to finish school, but now she has graduated from college with a 4-year degree in Education. She recently passed the Education Board exam and now has her official license to teach. We are excited about her future.
She wrote a letter of thanksgiving to FCM. We share excerpts from it with you below. As you read it, rejoice with us because of what God has done in her life because of a sponsor who helped her.
Dearest FCM,
Hello! A glorious day to your church (ministry). God is so great and awesome. Imagine the distance between us but still God is so amazing because He made a way for you to reach and lend a hand toward us.
My heart is full of Thanksgiving to our Lord Jesus Christ and to your ministry because I was able to finish my study in college. God is so faithful because He never left me, even when I took the exam (for a teacher's license). I passed the exam and now I am a Professional Teacher license holder. Without your support, I don't even know where I would be now. God used you for my success and you have been a part of whatever success I may have.
I continue to pray that our Almighty God will never cease to bless you mightily so that more and more children may be able to be one of the sponsored.
Thank you from the deep of my hear. God bless you and I love.
Lovely Mae
God has blessed the vision of helping the poorest of the poor children in parts of the Philippines to get an education. You can be part of changing a life. We are now working on the budget for the next school year and asking God -- how many children this year?
How many young lives do you want to touch?
