Missions Sunday Church Partnership - Sponsor a Vulnerable Child

Missions Sunday Church Partnership

As part of our strategic desire to support churches, JMI would love to participate in your church’s missions-focused Sunday or serve as 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!

We love to share what God is doing through child sponsorship, transforming the lives of children and teens in Moldova and the Amazon who are at risk of trafficking and abuse, and lack basic necessities to thrive. Together, we can be 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 in the call of God’s church to multiply disciples who spread Gospel seeds of hope throughout the world. It’s the Church around the world that God uses to care for the poor, the vulnerable, and the forgotten. JMI partners with local churches and pastors so that together, we can truly make justice personal. By partnering, we hope to create awareness, provide resources, and encourage your church’s deep desire to love the vulnerable in the name of Jesus. Each sponsorship creates a relationship that significantly changes a child’s life, and we are thrilled to share this opportunity with 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 promote 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-focused Sunday, an event with JMI can be simple and flexible. It might include a table in the lobby with informational materials and sponsorship packets, or a brief on-stage moment featuring a short video highlighting orphan care, child sponsorships, and our teen programs. If your church doesn’t have a Missions Sunday, we would love to visit on a date that works well for you and share about our work in another format that suits your Sunday morning vision. Just reach out, and our team will work with you to personalize an event that fits your needs.

Is there a best time of the year to host?

Although you can host JMI at any time, we recommend January to kick off a new year or early fall when school starts and families are in a regular rhythm. Additionally, if your church participates in a JMI mission trip, scheduling shortly after the team returns allows participants to share personal experiences and encourage others to consider future opportunities. Whatever date works best with your church calendar, our team will work to respond quickly and schedule accordingly.

How many sponsorships should we aim for?

It’s our prayer for every event to result in about 15 vulnerable child or teen sponsorships for every 100 people in attendance.
