Andover URC, through Global Care, has sponsored Agape, a young girl in Uganda, for several years.
We are invited to pray for the work and mission of Global Care using the Prayer Calendar below on this page.
Global Care… Fighting child poverty for 37 years through Child Sponsorship, special projects and caring for children at risk.
Global Care…
- is a Christian organisation called to express and share the love of God through Jesus Christ.
- works in communities with impoverished children, regardless of faith or ethnicity.
- believes that every child has an intrinsic value and is unique and precious in the eyes of God.
- promotes Christian values while working to serve the needs of the whole person – body, mind and spirit including: physical health; education and opportunities to learn; material wellbeing, child protection and mentoring; safety and a suitable home environment; freedom, choice and personal dignity.
- balances efforts for individual children with community-wide measures, enabling the wider community to develop together.
