In the U.S., we ask the question, “What do you get for the person who has everything?” Let’s turn that around…”What do you get the child who has nothing?”

At first, you might think of basic necessities like food or clothing. Perhaps you’d even think about toys or a bike.

Over the past decade of working with children who have less than nothing, I can tell you this: What an orphan wants for Christmas is for another human being to express the lavish, extravagant, and unconditional love of Jesus to them. They want–like all children do–to know that they are special and chosen and loved.

Would you like to give this gift?

I have seen thousands of orphans lives transformed through relationships built with their U.S. sponsor. When you give yourself to a child, it is something unique and personal. It does not need to be shared with others. And it is cherished above all other gifts I have seen.

I’ve also watched thousands of sponsors transformed into the hands and feet of Jesus–through prayer, letter writing, short-term missions, and orphan advocacy.

It’s more than sponsorship. It’s how you give the gift of yourself and your family’s love to a child who longs to know what it feels like to be loved.

It will be the best Christmas present you give this year.
