Love through true charity is at the heart of many of our Lord’s teachings to us. In the Hebrew scriptures, charity is often described as “tzedakah”, speaking to an act of righteousness, fairness and justice. In the New Testament we see charity in terms of God’s agape love, with which we are all called to embrace the world. In Latin, the term is caritas, from which today we get the words caring and charity.
Many see today’s concept of charity as more of a secular or humanitarian concept. We know differently. Real charity through our Lord and Savior means the full love of God himself manifested through His people to a hurting world.
God has brought the first ten Santo area children to us and He has told us how to begin to meet their spiritual and physical needs. We have started to work with the church serving their village to put in place a wonderful plan that God has put on our hearts.
While we work toward the longer term goal of building the Children’s Home, God is calling us now to minister to these ten children in a very personal way. Spiritually, with the aid of the church and staff in the village. Materially, through food, medical, education and other support. And finally, minister to them with the love of God through Christ filled relationships with their village and those people who have temporarily taken them in.
We need fifty new Hope Partners at just $20 per month to sponsor these children. With the resulting $100 per child, per month, we can place them into a school, feed and clothe them, provide medical care, and begin to help their care families.
Please pray about what God is asking you to do to help these first ten children. God has laid on our hearts the message that he has great plans for them and for the Santo area. Becoming a Hope Partner places you shoulder to shoulder with us in fulfilling God’s plan.

“Then the righteous will answer him, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you something to drink? When did we see you a stranger and invite you in, or needing clothes and clothe you?When did we see you sick or in prison and go to visit you?’
The King will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.’ Matthew 25: 37– 40
