World Vision
We’re all missionaries.
Not everyone is able to serve in the global mission field, but you can make a difference in the life of a child and their community through World Vision child sponsorship. Watch the video above to find out how World Vision operates and why they love to say “goodbye” to the communities they serve.
Interested in sponsorship or have any questions on how it works? See Cayla Wilkerson, GBC’s World Vision child ambassador. Feeling led to act now? You can sponsor a child today!
What is World Vision?
World Vision is an international partnership of Christians whose mission is to follow our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ in working with the poor and oppressed to promote human transformation, seek justice, and bear witness to the good news of the Kingdom of God.
They pursue this mission through integrated, holistic commitment to:
- Transformational development that is community-based and sustainable, focused especially on the needs of children.
- Emergency relief that assists people afflicted by conflict or disaster.
- Promotion of justice that seeks to change unjust structures affecting the poor among whom we work.
- Partnerships with churches to contribute to spiritual and social transformation.
- Public awareness that leads to informed understanding, giving, involvement, and prayer.
- Witness to Jesus Christ by life, deed, word, and sign that encourages people to respond to the Gospel.
