Missions Sunday Church Partnership - Sponsor a Vulnerable Child

Missions Sunday Church Partnership

JMI would love to participate in your church’s Missions Sunday or be a special guest at one of your worship services this year. Let’s unite to care for the poor, the vulnerable, and the forgotten. Churches can change the world for God’s glory!

Our goal is to focus on child sponsorship, which transforms the lives of children and teens in Moldova and the Amazon who are at risk of trafficking and abuse and lack the necessities to thrive. Your local body of believers is invited to become sponsors and to act as the hands and feet of Christ for these young people in need. Through sponsorship, you shine the light of the Gospel into their lives.

What We Hope to Accomplish

We believe God instituted His Church to spread the Gospel of Jesus throughout the world. God also uses the Church to care for the poor, the vulnerable, and the forgotten. Therefore, JMI seeks to partner with churches and pastors so that together, we can accomplish our mission of making justice personal. By partnering with JMI, we hope to help foster your church’s desire to love the vulnerable in the name of Jesus. Each sponsorship drastically changes the life of a child, and we are thrilled that you want to present this opportunity to your church family.

“Defend the weak and the fatherless; uphold the cause of the poor and the oppressed.” Ps. 82:3

JMI’s Mission

Justice & Mercy International exists to create Gospel-centered life change for the poor, the vulnerable, and the forgotten. In Moldova, we prioritize caring for children and teens who are at risk of human trafficking. In the Amazon, where 80% of the population is unreached, we train and equip jungle pastors to bring Gospel transformation to one of the most remote places in the world.

FAQs

What does an event look like?

If your church already hosts an annual Missions Sunday, an event with JMI can be simple and flexible. This might include a table in the lobby with informational materials and sponsorship packets, or a brief on-stage moment with a short video.

If your church doesn’t have a Missions Sunday, we would love to visit on a date that works well for both of our calendars and share about our work in another format.

Just reach out, and our team will work with you to personalize an event that fits your church’s needs.

Is there a best time of the year to host?

Although you can host JMI at any time, we recommend two times of year. One is in January to kick off a new year with your congregation. The other is in the early fall if your church takes a group on a mission trip with us. Hosting JMI soon after they return would allow participants to share their personal experiences and encourage others to sign up for the following year’s trip.

How many sponsorships should we aim for?

It’s our prayer for every event to result in about 30 vulnerable child or teen sponsorships.

What if we have leftover sponsorship packets?

Our team will make a plan with you to help those children get sponsored.
